That's great that you can do it by hand but for this particular task
there are some good tools. gprof or callgrind/kcachegrind would fit well.

Are you still working on this? As Lukas pointed out you are probably
running regular cracking. It's predictable that most time it spend
calculating hashes (and it would be suspicious otherwise). When you are
fuzzing hash parsing, john will reject resulting hashes most of the time
so it's interesting to optimize this case.
