What does the profiler module do?

Either the profiler or profile map module was causing many of the problems I was having on my site, so I uninstalled them.  What exactly do they do?  I asked on another thread and no one answered, and can't find the answer with a search of this site and the forums.

Looking through the php code I found the following comment in BxProfilerModule.php

"This module estimate timining, like page openings, mysql queries execution and service calls.
Also it can log too long queries, so you can later investigate these bottle necks and speedup whole script."

So it seems to be some sort of analysis and optimization tool.

For the profiler map I found the following comment in BxMapModule.php under the map_profiles module. It pretty much speaks for itself I think.

" * Google Maps for Profiles module by BoonEx
 *
 * This module automatically geocode every user's location and diplay user's location in propfile.
 * Also user can point exact location on the map by clicking on it.
 * Map with all profiles is also available on homepage and on separate page.
 * Users are grouped by countries and cities on world map"
