Having percentile on summary report is not something critical but a nice to
have feature. And if it is going to be performance costly then probably is
not worth it.

About the back end listener. I used it with JMeter distributed mode and it
resulted in lower throughput. I had posted it on a different thread herein
<http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Backend-Listener-and-reduced-throughput-td5723565.html>
and one of the reasoning given was that any run time listener would have
perf impact.

Any way I also observed that I receive better throughput when running
JMeter test independently on 10 machines than using distributed mode.
Reduced throughput in distributed mode is described here
<http://web.archive.org/web/20120209090437/http://www.http503.com/2012/jmeter-ec2/>

Hence I ended up using JMeter-ec2
<https://github.com/oliverlloyd/jmeter-ec2> project (my own forked
<https://github.com/TestingForum/jmeter-ec2> version though) and there is
no out of box support for backend listener in this setup. I guess I need to
extract data from each individual jtl file and push it to influx db and
consolidate the result (???).

This approach would get benefit of higher throughput by avoiding to use
distributed mode and backend listener entirely. And at the same time one
can also plot 99 etc percentiles which are available with backend listener.
