The free account gives you very little info from production - you can
inspect a full trace breakdown in development mode, though:

Obviously profiling done in development mode should be taken with a
pinch of salt, but it's usually good enough to make a start, at least.
You can also sign up for a free trial of the full-fat account to get
the production traces, but IIRC you'll need to hand over credit card
details first, and they're quite eager salesmen (although always
totally professional IME).

be - hopefully the full trace in development mode will provide a few
more clues.
