code inspection is the best tool.  you should know the number and size of 
files your workflow touches, and how it accesses them.  running a program
under "time" is the most basic form of profiling, and tells you how much 
your job is waiting on the OS (basically, disk IO.)  similarly, the 
memory footprint (potentially memgrind or cachegrind would give some 
added insight here.)
