New description:

 Hotshot is unmaintained and buggy (see
 http://docs.python.org/library/hotshot.html and
 http://bugs.python.org/issue900092 and
 http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5137#comment:3). {{{tahoe start
 --profile}}} should probably use cProfile instead.

 See also #1546 (pass arbitrary options to twistd through the "tahoe"
 command-line), which would allow you to override the default profiler.
