It's not everything you asked for, but as it stands Chrome does have a task manager (Shift + Esc) that shows CPU usage, Memory, and also how the tabs are grouped process-wise.

I know, but you can use Chrome for a million years, and have resource hogging tabs crash your computer, without ever knowing about that. Even ("X seems to be slowing down your computer, press shift+ESC for a detailed breakdown") would help. The point is for abusive sites to stick out and have that imaginary free market, with the rational consumers and their informed decisions, do the rest.

By the by, why we can't switch to a tab from the task manager is a question for the ages.
