+gperftools, originally Google Performance Tools, is a collection of a
+high-performance multi-threaded malloc() implementation, plus some
+pretty nifty performance analysis tools. gperftools works particularly
+well with threads and STL. Also: thread-friendly heap-checker,
+heap-profiler, and cpu-profiler.
+
+gperftools was original home for pprof program. But do note that
+original pprof (which is still included with gperftools) is now
+deprecated.
