+    profile.  The file names are in the format <url>.<n>.prof where <url> is
+    the request path with "/" replaced by ".", and <n> is a timestamp with
+    microseconds to prevent overwriting files.
+
+    Use the gather_profile_stats.py script to gather these individual request
+    profiles into aggregated profiles by request path.
