Profiling: use gperftool, kcacherind, and massif-visualizer #39

Closed LinuxMercedes closed 6 years ago

gprof no longer works on modern executables; gperftool is a decent substitute. kcachegrind and massif-visualizer provide GUI representations of profiling data which are probably easier to interpret.

Also redid all the examples to be more informative.
