Yeah, I used the graphviz suite in the past, and any program that isn't
trivial uses up too much screen real estate.  At a previous company, they
printed up multiple sheets of paper and taped them together, but even then
that often wasn't enough space.  It is really a problem in data reduction,
because you don't care about most of the calls, or certain functions can be
grouped together.

Check out graphviz (neato, dot) and this site:

He has some links to packages for manipulating and visualizing large graphs.
