[development] Drupal Function Frequency Report?

[Robert Douglass]

Yeah, that's the one. I had this set up once but have deleted it  
since. It's a funny story actually. I configured it to keep logs of my  
local Drupal, but forgot to turn it off. Several weeks later my hard  
drive was completely out of space and crashing. It wasn't until I  
found the 120GB of KCacheGrind files that I could use my computer again.
