Well, the profiler is measuring the time spent generating the final 
response.  It doesn't measure:

- time spent processing the request
- time spent redirecting to the response page
- time spent sending the finished response to the browser
- time spent by the browser rendering the page

If you're on a local connection those last three should be negligible, 
so the problem may be in the first one.  If you do a large GOODS commit 
in your callback, for example, that wouldn't get profiled (though for a 
given callback it's easy enough to wrap it in MessageTally spyOn:).
