[...] The sampling rate can be based on CPU time (only supported on some systems).. Which are the platforms which do/do not support this? There is a configure option --enable-profiling which you might think has something to do with this, but it doesn't. Is that option still useful, and if so can someone come up with a more informative description for it than "build emacs with profiling support"?
