And I guess you are quite right. I knew there is a poorly optimized place in my program, but I didn't  touch it for some ideological reasons. But this morning I get how to optimize it in an ideological friendly manner, so now without profiling the program ~ 2 times faster. The speed of profiled version hasn't changed, hence I've manually done some work the compiler does during profiling.
