Add rhino.profile.session property to limit profiling to certain user sessions. If set, the indexOf method of the current session id is called with the property as argument, and the profiler is disabled unless the result is 0.

To only profile sessions from localhost (but beware of local proxies!):

    rhino.profile = true
    rhino.profile.session = 127.0.0.1

To only profile a particular user session:

    rhino.profile = true
    rhino.profile.session = 127.0.0.1n5guagu2sdl2jslf

Note that for the profiler to work you need to start helma with rhino.profile = true since Helma 1 doesn't support mixed compiled/interpreted mode like Helma NG.
