> For long-running, batch-oriented programs, though, where there are no pathological corner cases, the usefulness of cProfile diminishes. It becomes hard to distinguish signal from noise with regards to the cumulative call counts and function time. Additionally, cProfile only captures function call entry and exit times -- it doesn't do line profiling, and thus, won't be able to depict abnormally expensive lines within a routine (this can be common with NumPy and Pandas; a seemingly innocuous line will actually have a very high overhead behind the scenes).
