                       Done with the profiling for now

After some more profiling work [1] I've come to the conclusion that yes, the
hot spot is in ip-text.lua [2], and that after that function, it's quite flat
otherwise. The difference between ip-text.lua and the number two spot isn't
quite as bad as I initially thought, although it took some post-processing to
lump all the function calls together to determine that (required because Lua
can't always know the “name” of a function, but with the line numbers they
can be reconciled). It's only called about twice as much as the next most
used function instead of the nearly 4½ times it appeared earlier.

As far as profiling “Project: Sippy-Cup [3]” is concerned, I think I'm about
as far as I can go at this time. I did improve the performance [4] with some
minor code changes and any more improvement will take significant resources.
So I'm calling it good enough for now.
