I'm not aware of any good facilities for that kind of research.
profiler.el is supposed to be of help, but in your case it won't be,
since you say it takes a lot of time before the problem becomes
apparent.  But maybe it's worth your while to wait until the problem
is visible, then type "M-x profiler-start RET RET", press the arrow
keys several times, then "M-x profiler-report RET", and see if
something pops up.
