	profile n. 1. A control file for a program, esp. a text file
   automatically read from each user's home directory and intended to be
   easily modified by the user in order to customize the program's
   behavior. Used to avoid hardcoded choices (see also dot file, rc
   file). 2. [techspeak] A report on the amounts of time spent in each
   routine of a program, used to find and tune away the hot spots in
   it. This sense is often verbed. Some profiling modes report units other
   than time (such as call counts) and/or report at granularities other
   than per-routine, but the idea is similar. 3.[techspeak] A subset of a
   standard used for a particular purpose. This sense confuses hackers who
   wander into the weird world of ISO standards no end!
