Good to know that there is a pascal profiling solution, but somewhat
nasty that it changes the code, but thinking about it I couldn't think
of a better alternative. Maybe only by copying the source tree to a
temp dir.

In my case I only wanted to profile 5 painting routines, so I just
went for EpikTimer with a PROFILING ifdef and it worked well =)
