*default-profiler-limit* is the maximum number of lines of output that are printed during profiling. The default value is large to ensure that you receive all possible output requested. *default-profiler-limit* only counts output lines for functions that are actually called during profiling. Therefore, if *default-profiler-limit* was set to, say, 19, and 20 functions were profiled, you would receive full output if one or more of the functions were not actually called during profiling.
