Sysprof does make XML dumps of the profile data that can be loaded in
the GUI again. Furthermore, try sysprof from SVN where Søren has added
a new binary without a gui (sysprof-text) that does the profile and
dumps it to the XML file. And this new version is also able to profile
in the kernel. Highly recommended IMO.
