Worked very well for me on a few items. Sometimes its helpful to link against debug builds of libraries though as I found sometimes the stack traces would get messed up without the debugging symbols for glibc and what not. Only problem with the memprof version I used (it was a while ago) is I couldn't figure out how to set the command line arguments for the process I wanted to profile. Good luck!
