Here is one:

{[{undefined, 156757, 7629.458, 997.459},
{{digraph,out_neighbours,2}, 63, 0.000, 0.368}],
{ {digraph,out_neighbours,2}, 156820, 7629.458, 997.827}, %
[{{digraph,collect_elems,3}, 156820, 5907.714, 471.786},
{{ets,lookup,2}, 156820, 660.148, 660.148},
{garbage_collect, 85, 58.944, 58.944},
{suspend, 353, 4.233, 0.000},
{{digraph,in_neighbours,2}, 8, 0.343, 0.044},
{{lists,dropwhile,2}, 3, 0.218, 0.010},
{{lists,filter,2}, 1, 0.031, 0.006},
{{digraph,out_neighbours,2}, 63, 0.000, 0.368}]}.

Every module listed above is from the Erlang distribution.

At the erl prompt :

> fprof:profile([file, {dump, []}]).

> fprof:analyse([{dest, []}, totals]).


Now look at the file "fprof.analysis" .


Thanks,
