Profiling/performance monitoring in win32

[Russell Warren]

The application we're working on at my company currently has about
eleventy billion independent python applications/process running and
talking to each other on a win32 platform.  When problems crop up and
we have to drill down to figure out who is to blame and how, we
currently are using the (surprisingly useful) perfmon tool that comes
with Windows.

Perfmon does a pretty decent job, but is pretty raw and sparse on the
usability front.  Does anyone know of any alternative windows (not cpu)
profilers out there?  Commercial packages ok,  Of course one that can
introspect it's way into what a python app is doing would be a bonus
(but truthfully I'm probably just adding that last bit to make this
post a bit more appropriate for c.l.py :) ).

Thanks!
