Arcniz, here are some links to research into the concept of a Takeoff and Performance Monitoring System, which you discribe:

NASA TOPMS research

University of Saskatchewan thesis on TOPMS system

NASA TOPMS cockpit display development

As you can see, the concept of a Takeoff and Performance Monitoring System is being worked on by some groups. That's a good thing, because I think it's a great idea.

I also agree with RatherBeFlying, as long as the time vs speed parameters can be derived fairly easily, the stopwatch will work until a more sophisticated system can be created.
