twistd has a --profile option; you can get it to use either profile.py
or hotshot. At some point it will hopefully support cProfile. You could
also just use cProfile directly.

The problem of course is that this doesn't tell you when I/O is a
bottleneck, nor does it tell you which high-level tasks are the problem.
