Massif-Profiling Amarok

[Alejandro Wainzinger]

Yeah, sounds like quite a job.  For me though, it's one of the few
things that makes me open Amarok less often, the other being the
somewhat slow startup time (no doubt in part caused by QtScript as
well, though I'll need to run tests to confirm).

+1 for Smoke
