+Profiling a trace
+-----------------
+
+You can perform gpu and cpu profiling with the command line options:
+
+ * `-pgpu` record gpu times for frames and draw calls.
+
+ * `-pcpu` record cpu times for frames and draw calls.
+
+ * `-ppd` record pixels drawn for each draw call.
+
+The results from this can then be read by hand or analysed with a script.
+
+scripts/profileshader.py will read the profile results and format them into a
+table which displays profiling results per shader.
+
+For example, to record all profiling data and utilise the per shader script:
+    ./glretrace -pgpu -pcpu -ppd foo.trace | ./scripts/profileshader.py
