Thank you for pointing it out. It may be the same bug, although my bad 
experience was was on Linux but not on Windows XP (even if the latter 
system was slower than the former).

In NetBeans 5.5 profiler there's a view that is just like TPTP Call Tree 
view and I think it's quite comfortable to navigate and understand. I 
don't know if it has also an actual "call graph", like TPTP, but I think 
that it might be "easily" built from the call tree using the collected 
summary data, am I wrong?
