+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>eprof</c> has been reimplemented with support in
+ the Erlang virtual machine and is now both faster (i.e.
+ slows down the code being measured less) and scales much
+ better. In measurements we saw speed-ups compared to the
+ old eprof ranging from 6 times (for sequential code that
+ only uses one scheduler/core) up to 84 times (for
+ parallel code that uses 8 cores).</p>
+ <p>Note: The API for the <c>eprof</c> has been cleaned up
+ and extended. See the documentation.</p>
