Very Sleepy

Sleepy is a C/C++ CPU profiler for Windows systems.
The original version is a bit lacking in many areas, so I’ve been doing some work on it.
My version (“Very Sleepy”) has a boatload of improvements in, such as call-graph profiling, an improved UI, and load-save.

It supports any native Windows app, if it has standard PDB debugging information. No recompilation is necessary – it can just attach to any app as it’s running.

Sleepy is released under the GNU Public License, so you’re guaranteed the right to the source code and to change it how you wish.
