I know accounting a bit from the AIX side where it is used in our case to check which department used how much resources and is billed by that.
If you are going to sort out performance problems, you might want to start with vmstat, top, ps, iostat etc.
Maybe you check the net for nmon for example. There are different tools available.
What OS are you using?

isdnd.acct
ISDND.ACCT(5) BSD File Formats Manual ISDND.ACCT(5)
NAME
isdnd.acct -- isdn4bsd ISDN management daemon accounting file format
DESCRIPTION
The file isdnd.acct contains accounting information which is written if the variable useacctfile in the isdnd(8) configuration file
isdnd.rc(5) is set to on and charging information transmission has been subscribed for the ISDN connection (AOCD or AOCE).
If the variable acctall is set to on, accounting information is written even if the local site was not charged or no charging information is
available or is not subscribed.
The general format of an accounting line is as follows:
FROM - UNTIL NAME UNITS (SECONDS) (INBYTES/OUTBYTES)
FROM is the time the connection was established in the format
Day.Month.Year Hour:Minutes:seconds
UNTIL is the time the connection was closed. The format is the same as described for FROM above.
NAME is the symbolic name got from the name entry of the isdnd.rc(5) config file for this connection.
UNITS is the amount of charging units billed for the connection.
SECONDS is the number of seconds the connection lasted.
INBYTES and OUTBYTES is the (optional) number of bytes that were transferred.
FILES
/var/log/isdnd.acct The default accounting information file for the isdnd ISDN daemon.
EXAMPLES
This is a typical accounting line:
12.06.97 10:41:37 - 12.06.97 10:45:18 GROGGY 2 (65) (4711/1147)
