Joel,

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but it's highly doubtful that
consing is the hotspot in your program. If you're problem is
interpreting the mangled function names that show up in gprof, it's
sometimes possible to correlate execution count with source locations
using ocamlcp. See here:
http://procrastiblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/profiling-ocaml-revealed.html

This won't let you figure out "which function is consing" unless you
rename ::, e.g.,
let mycons x xs = x :: xs
