I've taken a quick look at the VCC source code on github.

Adding profiling would necessitate changes to the 6809 core. In fact, the 
profiling would pretty much have to be done in the core; either that or set 
the granularity to 1 cycle and expose the CPU state which would likely incur 
a significant performance hit. Maybe that is of little consequence on modern 
machines???

The other issue is my aversion to installing Visual Studio on my machine... 
I'm wondering how much work is required to get it building under GCC/MSYS? 
Has anyone tried?
