pprof

To expose profiling endpoints, use the -metalisten flag. This can be used with tools such as go tool pprof to capture and view the data. For example, if ktranslate was started with -metalisten :6060:

go tool pprof -http :8080 http://127.0.0.1:6060/debug/pprof/profile

To view all available profiles, open http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/ in your browser.
