Not printing it would be ok, because I'd just do 2 graphs, one with and
one without, and use the key from one for the other. But yes, any of
those would be good. 

And another thing to add to the wish list - the option to just use 1 in
x of the sample points in the hp file for when you realise you've got
too much detail and would like a more general view of the shape.
Sometimes I wish I'd profiled with a larger interval, but it can take a
long time to run it again, and it should be easy to skip samples from
the hp file.

And it would be nice if when collecting the profile, I could specify
what filename I want the .hp file to have - for future reminder of what
it was, and more importantly so I can run many different profiles of the
same program at once and they don't all try to write to the same file (I
have access to a beowulf cluster).
