True. They need to be educated on how to optimize their mapfiles and 
data and looking at debug output at level 2 (tuning level) is one of the 
ways. I believe there is already a doc about optimizing maps and this 
should be added to it.

I don't have anything specific in mind, I was just thinking out loud... 
that could simply be a program that you would run on a mapfile and would 
make some performance tests and reports. It would look for common 
problems and report them or attempt to fix them.
