Give Apache::SmallProf a try. Where Apache::DProf shows you the subroutine calls, SmallProf will show you a profile on a line by line basis. This should help you zero in on what is causing the slowness.
I'd say just the opposite in most cases. Usually you want to see which subs are taking the time. SmallProf is mostly useful when your subs are much too big.
It is very common though for people to not properly initialize the debugger when using DProf and thus not get results for most of their code. That often leads them to think they should use a different profiler, like SmallProf.
