I did that but I could not see anything: the important spot reads:

-----------------------------------------------
                8.05    0.00 1000000/1000000     camlNbody__entry [5]
[6]     99.7    8.05    0.00 1000000         camlNbody__code_begin [6]
-----------------------------------------------

Did I miss something???

make Caml code that fast or if not why.
