Yes, as it is now I think you should subclass DictCursor yourself to add timing.

We should probably use super(), but mixin-style inheritance doesn't
just happen: the classes should be designed for it and I'm afraid they
weren't. I'm not even sure the base C classes are "new style" classes.
However, yes, I'm all for it: can you try patching the module so that
mixing up different orthogonal subclasses (e.g. logging vs.
namedtuple...) works as expected?
