+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; If you want to profile a bunch of functions, set elp-function-list
+;; to the list of symbols, then do a M-x elp-instrument-list. This
+;; hacks those functions so that profiling information is recorded
+;; whenever they are called. To print out the current results, use
+;; M-x elp-results. If you want output to go to standard-output
+;; instead of a separate buffer, set `elp-use-standard-output' to
+;; non-nil. With `elp-reset-after-results' set to non-nil, profiling
+;; information will be reset whenever the results are displayed. You
+;; can also reset all profiling info at any time with M-x
+;; elp-reset-all.
+;;
+;; You can also instrument all functions in a package, provided that
+;; the package follows the GNU coding standard of a common textual
+;; prefix. Use M-x elp-instrument-package for this.
+;;
+;; If you want to sort the results, set `elp-sort-by-function' to some
+;; predicate function. The three most obvious choices are predefined:
+;; `elp-sort-by-call-count', `elp-sort-by-average-time', and
+;; `elp-sort-by-total-time'. Also, you can prune from the output, all
+;; functions that have been called fewer than a given number of times
+;; by setting `elp-report-limit'.
+;;
+;; Elp can instrument byte-compiled functions just as easily as
+;; interpreted functions, but it cannot instrument macros. However,
+;; when you redefine a function (e.g. with eval-defun), you'll need to
+;; re-instrument it with M-x elp-instrument-function. This will also
+;; reset profiling information for that function. Elp can handle
+;; interactive functions (i.e. commands), but of course any time spent
+;; idling for user prompts will show up in the timing results.
+;;
+;; You can also designate a `master' function. Profiling times will
+;; be gathered for instrumented functions only during execution of
+;; this master function. Thus, if you have some defuns like:
+;;
+;; (defun foo () (do-something-time-intensive))
+;; (defun bar () (foo))
+;; (defun baz () (bar) (foo))
+;;
+;; and you want to find out the amount of time spent in bar and foo,
+;; but only during execution of bar, make bar the master. The call of
+;; foo from baz will not add to foo's total timing sums. Use M-x
+;; elp-set-master and M-x elp-unset-master to utilize this feature.
+;; Only one master function can be set at a time.
+
+;; You can restore any function's original function definition with
+;; elp-restore-function. The other instrument, restore, and reset
+;; functions are provided for symmetry.
+
+;; Here is a list of variable you can use to customize elp:
+;; elp-function-list
+;; elp-reset-after-results
+;; elp-sort-by-function
+;; elp-report-limit
+;;
+;; Here is a list of the interactive commands you can use:
+;; elp-instrument-function
+;; elp-restore-function
+;; elp-instrument-list
+;; elp-restore-list
+;; elp-instrument-package
+;; elp-restore-all
+;; elp-reset-function
+;; elp-reset-list
+;; elp-reset-all
+;; elp-set-master
+;; elp-unset-master
+;; elp-results
+
+;; Note that there are plenty of factors that could make the times
+;; reported unreliable, including the accuracy and granularity of your
+;; system clock, and the overhead spent in Lisp calculating and
+;; recording the intervals. I figure the latter is pretty constant,
+;; so while the times may not be entirely accurate, I think they'll
+;; give you a good feel for the relative amount of work spent in the
+;; various Lisp routines you are profiling. Note further that times
+;; are calculated using wall-clock time, so other system load will
+;; affect accuracy too.
+
+;;; Background:
+
+;; This program was inspired by the only two existing Emacs Lisp
+;; profilers that I'm aware of, Boaz Ben-Zvi's profile.el, and Root
+;; Boy Jim's profiler.el. Both were written for Emacs 18 and both were
+;; pretty good first shots at profiling, but I found that they didn't
+;; provide the functionality or interface that I wanted, so I wrote
+;; this.
+
+;; Unlike previous profilers, elp uses the built-in function
+;; current-time to return interval times. This obviates the need for
+;; both an external C program and Emacs processes to communicate with
+;; such a program, and thus simplifies the package as a whole.
+
+;; TBD:
+;; Make this act like a real profiler, so that it records time spent
+;; in all branches of execution.
