Description (last modified by exarkun)

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.

"tahoe start" is deprecated and "tahoe run" can now pass args through to "twistd", which uses cprofile as the default profiler.
