If one wanted to check response time for a consumer fetching a topic
message (on the client side), similar to checking an HTTP request's
response time for the web, what's the best approach to take?

I notice the kafka shell scripts if used for that have some startup
overhead if used to assess response times frequently.

Is there a speedier CLI alternative, or will one have to write a custom
script/program in one of the kafka language clients for less startup
overhead for frequent periodic checks?

Or is there a kafka server side metric that is sufficient to check for this
(no need for client side checking, just look at the server metrics)?
