title: How can I effectively profile a cygwin application?
body: <p>I have a cygwin application (a game: <a href="http://te4.org" rel="nofollow">http://te4.org</a>) that I want to profile to figure out why it's so slow on one of my machines. Since cygwin doesn't produce PDB files, the usual Windows-profiling suspects need not apply.</p>
  
  <p>What's the state of the art for this sort of thing?  I haven't found many encouraging things about using gprof (requiring custom libraries to be dropped in, etc.), but I'll go there if I have to.</p>
