It's very partially being supported right now via imdiag. That module enables to query the main message queue length (and only for the main message queue). There is also a very, very rudamentary Java app in the v5. This was created as part of the debugging/performance testing effort earlier this year, but unfortunately more important things got into the way. An interace needs to be designed (and implemented) for performance counters. IT's on the agenda, but unfortunately not on the top spot. In concur that it would be very useful in many cases.
