Most of the existing operational profile studies have been proposed for software reliability. Operational profile describes how the program to be used. Our experience with software performance analysis shows that the operational profile may play a role in the performance analysis of a program. In this paper we investigate the application of the operational profile in software performance analysis. We introduce a new type of performance deficiency referred to as redundant computation and show how the operational profile can guide in detecting such deficiency. Our initial experiment shows the application of operational profile in enhancing program's performance.
