What problems is Intel VTune Amplifier solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a strange performance issue on a project and only VTune helped us to figure it out. Our project was a multithreaded linux network service written in C. It spawns about 10 workers to process incoming messages but we noticed that increasing the number of worker threads does not increase performance and we are losing some packets because of that. So we started digging using various profilers without any success. But when it came to the VTune it showed the issue instantly! We revealed a thread-lock inside of tzset() and move it outside of workers code. After that all issues were gone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
