Performance monitoring is an important component of code optimization. Performance monitoring is also important for the beginning user, but can be difficult to configure appropriately. The overhead of the performance monitoring tools Craypat, FPMP, mpiP, Scalasca and TAU, are measured using default configurations likely to be chosen by a novice user and shown to be small when profiling Fast Fourier Transform based solvers for the Klein Gordon equation based on 2decomp&FFT and on FFTE. Performance measurements help explain that despite FFTE having a more efficient parallel algorithm, it is not always faster than 2decom&FFT because the complied single core FFT is not as fast as that in FFTW which is used in 2decomp&FFT.
