It samples the PC register u= sing a special signal (SIGPROF), which is the usual method of sampling CPU = in profilers. For those systems which don't have SIGPROF, it can fall back= on sampling the CPU whenever Emacs calls one of the memory allocation func= tions -- this is called "mem" profiling. > > So the "memory" profiles shown here don't show memory usage.
