    If you want to use performance tools like the Performance Inspector on Mac OS X, get the CHUD tools from http://developer.apple.com/tools/performance/. They provide a GUI so you do not need to use the command line expect for amber, the instruction tracer.
    Shikari is a profiler that can use the CPU PMC(performance monitor counters), it can show you where your hot spot is in asm but gives line information if you compiled with -g.
