I accidentally stumbled across an application called CHUD Remover that claims to remove CHUD files. It lives in /Developer/Applications/Performance Tools/CHUD.
What is CHUD and why would I want to remove CHUD files from my system?
These are generally profiling / hardware performance measuring tools.

CHUD Tools are a set of profiling and performance tools for use in applications development on the Mac. The package includes a lot of things, such as DTrace, OpenGL Profiler, and Instruments. Shark in particular is a favorite tool of mine; it's a spectacular profiler with a great interface.

The other two told you what CHUD is. The reason you would want to remove it? To install a newer version, of course!
If you ever plan on doing performance optimization, Shark is a wonderful tool. So don't remove it =)

All of that may very well be true about performance tools, but CHUD has always stood for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller.
