Yep, I use apd too since i found http://kromann.info/ who has daily build of
extensions like that for win32 :-)

I can only do profiling based on the number of times a function is called, I
can't tell how expensive a function is because the timing stuff in apd hasn't
been completed for win32 yet.

I would be interested to see the list sorted by time for someone's portal page
just so i have an idea of times.

Here's my top function 300 calls on my portal.php if anyone's interested:
