Re: PHP performance profiling

I did a search and didn't find anything really astounding sounding, so I wanted to ask for some "live" recommendations from the crowd here. I was wondering if anyone had used FirePHP with Firebug or could recommend a good profiling method for figuring out where the slow parts of your PHP code are. I'm curious about solutions that don't require installing something on the server side, since that's not usually an option with shared web hosting and all. I used to love Zend Studio's server component along with the IDE, but it doesn't help so much with shared web hosts where you can't install the server component. Ideally, I'd love to see what segments of the code are running slow, but at the very minimum, I want to see if it's the PHP code or the MySQL calls that are slow. I know I can just add my own statements in the code, but I was hoping there was a more comprehensive solution available. Thanks in advance. -TG

manually with a home grown script or pear benchmark apd on windows or zend platform don't really know of anything else tbh but would like a nice profiler for php myself (easier if php was precompiled I guess)
