Useful article! I discovered that calls to load() on a very small file take up a third of the entire processing time on my function. On a side note, the fix to profview.m doesn't seem to be necessary for 2011b and perhaps earlier versions, as the (presumably) entire message is hard-coded into the sprintf call and so profileInfo.Overhead is converted through sprintf, as shown:

s{end+1} = sprintf(['Self time is the time spent in a function excluding both the time spent in its ', ...
                        'child functions and most of the overhead resulting from the process of profiling. ', ...
                        'In the present run, self time excludes %4.3f seconds of profiling overhead. ', ...
                        'The amount of remaining overhead reflected in self time cannot be determined.'], profileInfo.Overhead);
