After running your program, run:
gprof foo.exe
with ``foo.exe'' the name of your program ofcourse, and the profile will
be written to your screen; you can redirect it into a file by appending
``> foo.profile''. The profile data should be self-explanatory.

Profiling is covered in the FAQ (what isn't).

Regards.
