[Zope-dev] How to automatically poke Zope2 on slow requests

[Helge Tesdal]

I'm trying to debug slow requests/writes, and I'm wondering if there  
are any suitable tools for this. It's not on every request or write,  
we're not able to detect manually and start checking from the shell,  
and we would prefer to not affect performance too much for all the  
regular requests.

What I've been thinking of is a proxy that can start poking with  
signalstack and perhaps check system IO once a request has taken more  
than a set number of seconds (or trigger by some other rule), or a  
component that starts a monitor thread for each request that can do  
something similar. I'm open to completely different approaches.
