Great idea!

Here's a few suggestions, which you've probably already thought of.
 - a dialog to open a text file containing the profiled data
 - the ability to launch a program and record the profiled data 
     for direct viewing
 - graphs of course
 - sorting of columns
 - searching for data and "common" performance killers

And off the topic of monogrind directly, would be to allow for `mono
--profile` to generate an Xml file of the data.  Or at least specify a
file for the profiled data to be save to.

Open it up when you want, I'm sure people would love to help.  The
visualizations would certainly help me out a lot.
