So _copyConstructAny is called 180 205 times mostly from uno_type_any_construct.
I think inside the function itself are executed 0.26% instructions of all.
There is also Cycle Detection option in KCachegrind but I don't know
what it is doing. I had it enabled.

What specifically should I search for?
Is this enough?
I guess time can't be measured from callgrind's output. Or cycle
estimation is something like that?
