I'd really like to see things like CPU monitoring in JMeter as well. Probably the most flexible way would be to enhance JMeter to get readings from remote (or local) JMX (Java Management Extension?) beans.
There was a recent JavaWorld article with source code for getting CPU percentages from Windoze. I had wanted to wrap that in a JMX bean that could run inside a JMX server like MX4J (http://mx4j.sf.net) but I got pulled away to other things. I think there is a heartbeat Monitor in some or most JMX servers that will notify a JMX bean at regular intervals to sent out a notification of what their current reading is. There are other monitors too that can be constantly checking JMX beans for value ranges and then sending out notifications when they fall outside the range. With an open and flexible infrastructure like JMX the possibilities for other uses would be virtually limitless. JMX is really the connector architecture of the future, in my opinion. Tomcat now uses it for managing it's components, and JBoss uses JMX to integrate and manage all of it's many components.

This is a very good feature that jMeter would benefit from. Notice that Im too lazy to volunteer myself. :-) Ta.
