[Boost-build] Profiling code question

Hi,
I'm still surprised by our profiling output. Here's what I see when sorted by 
"net" time:

 --count--    --gross--   --net--     --name--
 3.56E+06     2.62E+06    2.62E+06    [OTHER]
 82,825.00    9.60E+05    250,000.00  FILE_DIRSCAN
 138,826.00   3.50E+05    230,000.00  BUILTIN_GLOB_BACK

So, most of the net time is spent in "OTHER".

1. What's exactly that?
2. Can we somehow attribute that time to some Jam language rules? I'm not sure 
where to go from here without knowing where a considerable bunch of time is 
spend.
