Description

@rylev

As a follow-up to #88, we should include more specifics on tools like cachegrind and valgrind. From the original issue:

those [tools] provide a slightly different and useful set of measurements but come with some caveats when invoking the profiler (i.e. making sure that the rustc executable is profiled, not cargo or the rustup wrapper).
