PROFILE
     
        Simple language for matching and scoring data.  "User's Manual

profile
     
        1. A control file for a program, especially a text file
        automatically read from each user's home directory and
        intended to be easily modified by the user in order to
        customise the program's behaviour.  Used to avoid {hard-coded}
        choices (see also {dot file}, {rc file}).
     
        2. A report on the amounts of time spent in each routine of a
        program, used to find and {tune} away the {hot spot}s in it.
        This sense is often verbed.  Some profiling modes report units
        other than time (such as call counts) and/or report at
        granularities other than per-routine, but the idea is similar.
