You can also use dtrace to get a count of callouts and their time spent. 
Run this for a few seconds then hit ^C:

#! /usr/sbin/dtrace -s
/* #pragma D option quiet */

callout_execute:::callout_start
{
        this->start = timestamp;
}

callout_execute:::callout_end
{
        this->end = timestamp;
/*      printf("%a %d\n",args[0]->c_func, this->end - this->start); */
        @times[args[0]->c_func] = quantize(this->end - this->start);
/*      @times[args[0]->c_func] = lquantize(this->end - this->start,0,300000,10000); */
        @counts[args[0]->c_func] = count();
}

END
{
        printa("%a %@u\n",@times);
        printa("%a %@u\n",@counts);
}
