A variation on this is instrumenting an codebase with profiler flamegraphs, which I find a lot more straightforward to drill in/out with than stepping through functions one at a time.

I normally use manual profiling libraries - I need an excuse to try out orbit, which uses automatic instrumentation for similar purpouses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8w0qI8qzvM

A little lower fidelity in some ways, but faster iteration than what I've been doing in others...
