DEV-C++ has a built-in profie analysis function for programmers to analyze their own program's performance and locate the bottleneck. Is there any simular tool under VC++ 2003?

Yes, but I believe you only get it with the Enterprise edition. However, you can also use third party profilers like GlowCode, DevPartner, Intel's VTune or AMD's CodeAnalyst.

Be warned that DevPartner doesn't work with OpenGl. There is also the little known but though great profiler AQtime (which has the funny drawback of being only able to profile debug builds).

I've used AQTime a few times and I like it.

Why can it only profile debug builds? If it is simply a matter of symbols, you can generate symbols in a release build, too. Profiling a debug build is nearly useless.
