Hi friends,

I've been trying to do some heavy profiling of a python program and have been trying to hunt down a 15 millisecond lag at the beginning of my processes.

The tracer shows nothing.

In an act of desperation, I moved over to new relic, which shows the offender is the psycopg2 connect function. This is monkey patched by the tracer, and I suspect the tracer itself is the cause of the slowdown (although I am unsure and removing it now).

1. You should report this -- having mystery untraced time is not good
2. How do we know when the tracer is the actual cause of the problem?

Thanks!
