I built ponie with profiling, and I find that it's spending an inordinate amount of time in trace_children (half a second per call):
Wow, that's... bad. It seems like you've an insane number of PMCs, though, since there were over 1.3 billion calls to pobject_lives and 3.4 billion calls to getBucket. Either something's gone wrong in the profiling or you've gone really degenerate somehow.
