Backport PR #4098: pass profile-dir instead of profile name to Kernel...
Backport PR #4098: pass profile-dir instead of profile name to Kernel avoids relative path issues for local profiles when the notebook server starts in a different directory from the kernels. moves the `profile-dir` alias from the parallel apps up to the base IPython app Candidate for backport to 1.1

"""Test the performance of the task farming system.
This script submits a set of tasks via a LoadBalancedView. The tasks
are basically just a time.sleep(t), where t is a random number between
two limits that can be configured at the command line. To run
the script there must first be an IPython controller and engines running::
ipcluster start -n 16
A good test to run with 16 engines is::
python task_profiler.py -n 128 -t 0.01 -T 1.0
This should show a speedup of 13-14x. The limitation here is that the
overhead of a single task is about 0.001-0.01 seconds.
