It hasn't been considered from my end, yet.  The load-balancing 
instrumentation adds visibility to number of active physical connections 
(which may be idle while still actively connected), as opposed to 
"actively being used".  We can give the latter some thought, but the 
concern I have is that collecting statistics across multiple Connection 
objects in real-time (or close enough to be useful for this purpose) 
will cause contention.
