Haven't worked with Valgrind in a while, and never on MacOS, so not sure. A
quick glance at online documentation here
<https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos> and here
<https://valgrind.org/> shows the latest mentioned versions to be a bit old
(10.12 and 10.15, I'm running 11.6.7 on my machine). But if you recommend
it I'll take a better look.

I was referring to this portion of the manual: link
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Profiling.html>. It
seems Emacs is pretty well integrated with gprof. But on Mac I couldn't
configure it with the --enable-profiling option; I get this error: *clang:
error: the clang compiler does not support -pg option on versions of OS X
10.9 and later.*
