Expand the granularity of the PreSor and PostSor times to be able to determine where in the z/OS Connect process slow response times are actually occurring

Due to a recent issue we had with a single API in API Provider where we were seeing intermittent very long PostSOR times for the same input client request data which was returning a relatively large response data structure from the SOR whilst other APIs were processing normally with no apparent CPU capacity or Heap issues in the server. We were unable to determine whether the large PostSOR time was due to:-

The amount of time taken for the response from the SOR to be returned into z/OS Connect. 
The amount of time taken for the response data structure to be transformed into JSON objects. 
The amount of time taken for the response from z/OS Connect to be sent back to the client.

I would like to request that the PostSOR time (and ideally for the PreSor time also) be broken down further to be able to quickly determine in which z/OS Connect process the time was actually being spent to be able to identify the appropriate area to investigate quicker. These values should be displayed in the Omegamon/JVM (and WEBUI etc) and z/OS Connect SMF 123 records in addition to the existing PreSor and PostSor fields.
