Last time I tried dprof on bugzilla, it didn't break down stuff inside
TT that usefully. One thing that comes to mind would be if for some
reason something was doing a bad job with multi-byte characters, eg
some of our templates use regexs, .contains, and so on that aren't as
easy to optimise when each character takes a different number of
bytes. Has anyone done a similar look using the english locale? What
perl version is this - 5.8 or 5.10?
