Yeah, it's a big problem - the scheduler needs to be profiler-aware.  At
IronPort we had to hook the resume() interface to charge resources to
the appropriate coroutine/thread/tasklet.  Then we wrote a simple
(compared to profile.py) profiler callback that counts time in each
function - this was eventually recoded in C and integrated with the
scheduler itself.  Although it's not as sophisticated as the python
profiler, it records all the getrusage() info, which splits cpu into
real/user/sys, and gives us lots of other info like page swaps,
interrupts, etc...
