That's disappointing, I wonder if xhprof has become abandonware since
facebook moved away from zend.  Have you looked at Webgrind (
http://code.google.com/p/webgrind/)?  If not, I'd love to see it at least
get a security review.  KCacheGrind is indeed super powerful and nice, and
well suited to a dev vm.  I'm still interested in this sort of profiling
for a very small percentage of production requests though, such as 0.1% of
requests hitting a single server.  Copying around cachegrind files and
using KCacheGrind wouldn't be very practical.
