If running the profiler is difficult you could start with a ktrace 
(which is supported since 10.2, yeah!). Start python, in another window 
do "ktrace -p pid", do the Python bits you're interested in and then do 
"ktrace -C". You'll only get a system call trace, but if you show it 
with "kdump -T" you'll get timestamps and it may give an idea where the 
time is going.
