As you might have understood because of the late reply; I am rather
busy. Could you do me a favour and file this as a feature request at
http://bugs.xdebug.org ? I don't know how easy this would be though, as
currently profiling has to start from the beginning of the script. What
most likely will need to happen is that profiling is still done for
every script, but all the runs that do not match the criteria are
removed.

cheers,
