Thanks. I will definitely use such a guide.

I only tried reading core once, but I used the --dump-X options together 
with compilation for profiling. Inserting my own cost-centres then gave 
me very clear labels in the code at the places I wanted them. I felt 
this made it easier for me to identify the different functions and other 
parts of the code within the core file.
