One has to perform the relevant SHOW commands, redirecting their output to a file and analysing it. For speed detection one can also write a program which uses QIO and returns a global symbol. As both methods are rather costly I'm not pursuing this idea any further.

Note to the moderator: Why didn't I see my own request in mod.computers.vax? I got a few answers, though. Are not all articles carried to .OZ ?
