Dedicated as in "not MTS"? Or dedicated as in "Only used in the connection pool"?

Why do you need to see what individual users are doing? Are only certain users complaining about performance problems, while the rest aren't? Are the complaining users using "use cases" the rest aren't, or are those users just whiny?

If it's a specific feature that needs tracing, couldn't you have the app server turn the tracing on and off just during that feature?

If it isn't specific features that need tracing, I think that you are no longer following Milsap's method, so his warnings about aggregates probably are no longer meaningful.
