The snippet is a modification of snippet 1315 to fit the needs for Django 1.3 and 1.4. You can follow the explanations and instructions there.

To plot a nice and so useful call-graph with timings, call:

$ gprof2dot -f pstats unittest.profile | dot -Tpng -o unittest.profile.graph.png

where 'unittest.profile' is the test runners profile output defined in your settings.
