Caleb, I don't know if this is too much work but, can we know how many calls to "new" this application makes or even better, how many std::strings it constructs?
Any suggestions on how to accomplish that? I've tried using the Google "tcmalloc" library, but the results show the #1 heap-user is some function that can't be determined so I'm not sure how helpful this information is. In the case that it may be, I'm attaching the output from "pprof --pdf --alloc_objects" for the Boost.Filesystem "finder" program.
