Tools/recommendations to debug performance issues?

We're using 0.8.2.1 processing maybe 1 million messages per hour. Each
message includes tracking information with a timestamp for when it was
produced, and a timestamp for when it was consumed, to give us roughly the
amount of time it spent in Kafka.  On average this number is in the seconds
and our upper percentiles are in the minutes.

What metrics and settings can we look at to figure out why we might be
spending so much time in Kafka?

Kafka also collects very useful metrics on request times and their
breakdown.
They are under kafka.network.<request name>

Have you checked the consumer lag? You can use the offset checker tool to
see if there is a lag.
