Yes, that would be nice.  (And other resources, in particular memory)

Unfortunately, it isn't quite that simple.  Ensuring that the work (and
other resources) belonging to a single tab is counted against its
process/thread is unlikely to be optimal.

We could certainly make some attempt at keeping statistics on resource
(cpu time, memory) usage per-tab, but it isn't trivial and I think it
would be hard to get such work prioritized.

But I would really like to have such a feature.
