I haven't used it this way, but the ActivityMonitor attached to the
database keeps track of statistics which could be useful:
'db.getActivityMonitor().log' is the time-series (per request) which is
used to generate the data for the "Activity" tab on the Control_Panel,
via its 'getActivityAnalysis' method.

However, that data doesn't record anything about the request except the
"end time".  You could also use the connection's 'getTransferCounts'
method, which returns the number of loads and stores done on the jar.

You might be able to get away with hacking in some extra records into
the trace log with this data, e.g.:

  loads_before, stores_before = connection.getTransferCounts()
  # do the reqeust
  loads_after, stores_after = connection.getTransferCounts()
  from ZServer.DebugLogger import log
  log('L', id(request), loads_after - loads_before)
  log('S', id(request), loads_after - stores_before)

You might need to monkeypatch Zope2.bobo_before and Zope2.bobo_after to
get this hooked in right.
