VampirTrace works great together with PAPI in order to collect performance counter readings and to combine them with the function call/MPI traces. Then Vampir's "Performance Radar" feature can be used to quickly spot bottlenecks in your application. The only downside is that this kind of profiling can generate immense amounts of trace data and having the trace event buffers constantly flushed to the disk or to a network filesystem can significantly skew the performance picture, especially in the latter case.
