Yeah.  Attached is my modified version of profx.c.  A diff would be 
about the same size.  It takes care of the threading issue (using the 
pthreads version of a thread local variable -- hopefully that's the 
right way to do it), the output is changed a bit, and it writes out a 
report to /tmp/profile.txt every 15 seconds (if there have been 
allocations).

The report includes the types accounting for at least 5% of the memory 
allocated (not counting anything deallocated), and the methods 
accounting for at least 5% of the allocations of each type.

To build, run make as before.  Put libmono-profiler-x.so and runprof 
(revised attached) in your website directory, and then run runprof. 
Besides the 15 second reports, the report is printed to stdout when xsp 
ends gracefully.

I'll get it committed somewhere eventually.
