May I suggest you just switch to using to coverage by Ned Batchelder
instead [1]?

It has a C extension for the coverage part. So running tests with or
without coverage tracking ends up without any speed difference. The
--coverage option to zope.testrunner is extremely slow compared to
this. There's an HTML output option with syntax highlighting and a XML
variant for consumption in tools like Jenkins Cobertura plugin.

A typical buildout setup can look like the one described at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.testing/4.0a3#coverage-reporting
assuming you have a zc.recipe.testrunner script called bin/test.
