You may easily script it (bash is enough),
i may , but actually have no time,
little tip:
u just need the following commands


jack_cpu_load #prints out your jack DSP load

jack_cpu
              [ --name OR -n client_name ]
              [ --time OR -t time_to_run (in seconds) ]
              [ --delay OR -d delay_before_cpuload__is_applied (in
seconds) ]
                --cpu OR -c percent_cpu_load (1-99)

jack_lsp #lists client ports, including midi

jack_lsp -c #lists connections,including midi

jack_lsp -A # lists aliases,including midi


and sed or awk,
e.g.  using it like

jack_cpu_load|cut -d" " -f2

gives just the DSP load value, implementing in conky is done with help
from google, i remember it was simple
