-p option report much less time than actual on high intensity of FFI calls application
Proprietary application is ran on 44 cores (88 with HT) machine (same problem on 12 core). It is Haskell between wxHaskell (wxWidgets for UI) and C API. It is doing FFI calls most of the time. Calls are not so many, but possibly not so fast. I'm trying to profile where is the problem, in which calls. But very strange behaviour is there. "total time" of application that is running 30secs to 1min is showing 0.33secs. Even MAIN function is not 100%.
Please, see first part of .prof file:
