The measurements and tracking of response times was tracked by user (ldap bind id), but it required tables. Assuming you don't need that... Hmm.. Not sure. Would need a bit more thought. Any chance you could upgrade to v10.2?
Even then though, you have the problem of working out when the response times decrease again... v11 you could use a sideband connection...
More thought required...
