I didn't mean to imply that XenMon is deficient in any way. Only that it is a different kind of performance tool than, say, a function-level tool like Xenoprof. XenMon works well for me now, the only suggestion I have is to improve the formatting of the notlive output: some numbers are printed with 12 significant figures and the columns are not well-aligned.

And I didn't think you did! :-) Its really good to see someone actually using the tool, and so I was just interested in getting some more feedback from you. Like Rob said, we didn't really pay much attention to notlive output. Those 12 digits are a Python thing -- numbers are rarely that precise. We'll try to improve it. Thanks again!

I think XenMon and XenoProf are complementary, and useful for different kinds of analysis. Neither is a panacea for profiling by itself.
