I cannot do none of the above because i am a simple user :/
But, it´s important for me know that the operators ( or another person that can solve the
problem, who?) can know about the slowing .
Regards.

No problem of detecting, but why communicate to the operators? If there
is a high number of requests you have three possibilities:
1.) Keep the nummber of requests at a level the machine can handle fast.
Usually a low number (100 in the past) and the number of rejected
connections increase (I think about 50% with the old settings).
2.) You try to answer as many requests as you can, even if the answers
are slow. The number of rejected requests is low. And the service looks
slow but reachable. (175 request currently).
3.) More computation and network power for the service. This is usually
a problem for free services. Someone has to donate this power.
Nothing of this an operator can/should change "on demand", so why tell
him that the load is high (he knows about it, I'm sure)?
