* Speed - it is a C extension and therefore many times faster than the standard
Ruby profiler.
* Flat Profiles - similar to the reports generated by the standard Ruby profiler
* Graph profiles - similar to GProf, these show how long a method runs, which
methods call it and which methods it calls.
* Threads - supports profiling multiple threads simultaneously
* Recursive calls - supports profiling recursive method calls
* Reports - can generate both text and cross-referenced html reports
* Output - can output to standard out or to a file
