Very nice work, this is a step in the right direction.

A tool that I believe is very important is the visualization of the
profile data.  For example, visually see how much memory is allocated
by a routine, or what kind of objects are allocated the most in a program.

The same applies to representing the time.

The CLR profiler has a few useful visualizations that would be nice to
add;  If you have .NET I recommend it (its the first match in Google).
