How many connections are being open over time
How many key objects are being created over time

perhaps a monitoring framework is in order that is deeply embedded into code

Essentially look into something like SMP and see what webservers like tomcat or apache has to offer....

Wonder if there is a micro framework that can be applied to mobile systems

Or desktop systems...
