Does anyone know of software for profiling Common Lisp programs?  We
run KCL and Sun Common Lisp (sun3 and sun4).

The output that I would like would tell me how often functions are
called, how much time is spent in the functions, how much time is
spend garbage-collecting (as opposed to doing `useful' work).  I would
like it to work correctly for anonymous functions and closures too,
because I have code that spendsmost of the time *somewhere* in some
closures.

Please email me if you know of profiling software for any combination
of our systems/software.

Many thanks.
