That's correct as I'm still writing that, and as you know Developers
hate Documentation ;-) For the cachegrind stuff to use you will need
Xdebug 2.0-dev from CVS. Have a look at
http://www.derickrethans.nl/pres-xdebug-montreal2004/talk.html slide 24
for the php.ini options. This generates a file in /tmp
(cachegrind.*.out) which you can then visualize with KCacheGrind (a KDE
application). Within some time we'll most likely have a tool for
Windows/MacOSX/Non-KDE too.
