There is an excellent paper at oopsla'09 that shows the method call  
graph can be effectively inferred using the method call stack depth: 
http://www-plan.cs.colorado.edu/klipto/mytkowicz-oopsla09.pdf

Executing "[ running sender notNil ] whileTrue: [ running := running  
sender. depth := depth + 1]" before each method execution of my  
application terribly slows it down.

Cheers,
Alexandre
