Wildly inaccurate profiling results

I think I understand what's going on: GC time isn't counted as part of
the time reported by profiling. This seems misleading to me, since if your
program is spending 4 times as much time doing GC as doing actual work
(such as mine is), you'd want to know about it... but I suppose you can
always just get the GC stats with -t anyway.
