Impressive! :)

Not yet, I will have a maximum stack-depth option in the next version.

This should be fixed in the next version.

Say you want to only display your own modules called 'foo' and 'bar':
import pycallgraph
pycallgraph.settings['include_module'] = ['foo', bar]
pycallgraph.start_trace()
pycallgraph.make_graph('blah.png')

>From the source there are these options for inclusion and exclusion:

'exclude_module': [],
'exclude_class': [],
'exclude_func': [],
'exclude_specific': ['stop_trace', 'make_graph'],
'include_module': [],
'include_class': [],
'include_func': [],
'include_specific': [],

"specific" means the whole name of a node, e.g.
"foo.MyBarClass.__init__"
