Apparently, there is a "validation_hook". Look at "Zope/__init__.py".

You find the traversal code in "ZPublisher.BaseRequest.BaseRequest.traverse".

You can use a profiler (e.g. "ZopeProfiler"

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>

). However, you will get an incredibly long list.

A profiler...
