Tracking down superlinear reductions

[Andrew Lentvorski]

pman seems to be reporting that I have a gen_server that appears to be 
doing a superlinear (probably closer to quadratic, but I haven't done 
the full analysis, yet) number of reductions (200,000,000+) for what 
should only be a linear amount of work (14,000 packets).

Dialyzer doesn't report anything obviously stupid, so I'm going to need 
to dig into this further.

Which tool should I use to analyze this?  pman seems to be choking on 
the trace.  I see a couple of different programs listed in the "Tool 
Applications" section of the manual, but nothing jumps out at me as 
being the obvious choice.

What I'd like to do is the Erlang equivalent of getting the number of 
times a function is called.  This would avoid the problem of Erlang 
trying to print out the arguments and flooding the I/O system.

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks,
