I bit the bullet and set PYINTROSPECT=true, then pasted this little snippet of code at each introspection prompt:

import pickle
import sys
COUNTFILE = "/tmp/dxp-profile.pck"
try:
    counts = pickle.load(open(COUNTFILE, "rb"))
except IOError:
    counts = sys.getdxp()
else:
    new_counts = sys.getdxp()
    counts = [sum(pair) for pair in zip(counts, new_counts)]
pickle.dump(counts, open(COUNTFILE, "wb"))
raise SystemExit
