>From my point of view, this is a critical piece for Zope - right now, 
trying to work out what's going on in a Zope page render is somewhat
painful. We found once we'd turned this onto our production code (and
Richard had made my initial vile hack actually work in a way that didn't
cause bleeding from the brain) we were able to very very quickly spot
a whole lot of stuff that was Just Not Doing The Right Thing. 

Unfortunately, the existing python profiling stuff is at too low a 
level to be useful - this stuff really fills a need. 

Plus, if it's integrated into Zope, Richard doesn't have to spend work 
time on maintaining it :)
