-prof cpu performance numbers suspect

Name: rm29839 Date: 10/29/97


Running on W/NT 4.0, with the JDK 1.1.4
interpreter, I used -prof. Thankfully,
the heap reporting now works (it was broken
in JDK 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and 1.1.3). But, the
CPU values are incorrect.

I see callee's that are only from java/lang,
java/io, sun/jdbc, and COM/Vitria. But,
I have classes that are in a package called
hubscan. These only appear as caller's.
Thus, they are never on the "left side"
of the -prof output, but appear only
on the right. From the -prof output,
it would seem that the program does little
but gc (15 sec), while it actually spends much
of it's time doing real work (it ran
for eight minutes consuming almost
all of the CPU).

It would seem that only classes in java,
sun, and COM are being allowed
