I’m posting this here in case anyone finds it useful. I’ve written a very simple plugin that prints out the most expensive tasks, and their timings.

The source is on GitHub at [https://github.com/jlafon/ansible-profile](https://github.com/jlafon/ansible-profile).

That’s pretty remarkable how small the code is.

Well done!
