But was that in Watcom? I don't think gcc was on DOS until DJGPP v1 which was...1992? I don't remember if gprof was ported. iD did use DJGPP for Quake in 1996.
I'm guessing they used gcc on NeXT but profiling that platform probably didn't make much sense, different compiler, different CPU, different OS...
The game was written on a TurboColor which had a Motorola 68030 (?) that ran at 33MHz and supposedly only ran at 15FPS (probably as slow as a 386DX/33 at the time)
