Hrm - I'm coming in on the tail end of this - but it might be that the 
CallProfiler can help here. The latest version can patch arbitrary methods 
for monitoring. No need to write your own patcher manually :)

Down side is that there hasn't been a stand-alone release since it was 
incorporated into the Zope 2.6 codebase. I should remedy that, next time I 
have some spare .. time :)
