In addition to the "sampling" analysis, SPT also explicitly intercepts most
of the MPE Intrinsics (and Image etc. I believe) so it can give you exact
counts and timing information relating to Intrinsic calls made by the
process.

I believe that the currently shipping version of SPT does not understand
Posix apps (i.e. HFS named programs, XLs, and user data files), but I
believe that this has been fixed internally at HP and that version should be
released at some point (if you really need that functionality today you
might be able to talk HP out of a copy).
