If you want to profile JMeter using YourKit you need to launch JMeter with YourKit telemetry enabled like:

java -agentpath:c:\path\to\yourkit\yjpagent.dll -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

Another possibility is setting JVM_ARGS or JMETER_OPTS environment variable to contain -agentpath:c:\path\to\yourkit\yjpagent.dll line.

However I don't think you need to profile JMeter itself, it's quite mature product and there are no obvious memory leaks or inefficient algorithms so it should be sufficient to follow JMeter Best Practices and recommendations from 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure article
