With MLton and <tt>mlprof</tt>, you can profile your program to find out bytes allocated, execution counts, or time spent in each function. To profile you program, compile with <tt>-profile</tt> <em>kind</em>, where <em>kind</em> is one of <tt>alloc</tt>, <tt>count</tt>, or <tt>time</tt>. Then, run the executable, which will write an <tt>mlmon.out</tt> file when it finishes. You can then run <tt>mlprof</tt> on the executable and the <tt>mlmon.out</tt> file to see the performance data. <p>
Here are the three kinds of profiling that MLton supports.
