When I compile with ghc -prof -auto-all, I end up with a .prof file that starts out like this: individual inherited COST CENTRE MODULE no. entries %time %alloc %time %alloc MAIN MAIN 1 0 0.0 0.0 100.0 100.0 main Main 228 92329 0.2 0.9 99.8 99.8 step Main 259 679 38.4 26.6 56.6 39.2 I'm trying to understand the "entries" column. I thought this was the number of times a given function is called. But "main" is nonrecursive, and only calls "step" (also nonrecursive) once. Where are the 92329 and 679 coming from? Am I mistakenly calling the functions more than I think I am? Thanks, Chad
