Profiling wishes

[Randall Hopper]

    The profile module always writes output to a file and doesn't provide a
public API to access to the performance results.  This makes it impractical
to reuse profile's functionality when writing even a simple custom
profiling harness.

Wishes:
  - option to collect profiling stats in mem without having to write to a file

    (for those times when you want to execute thousands of times on
    various problem sizes, programmatically)

  - public API to access timing info programatically

    (e.g. cumulative time for a function Foo, as a float)
