How do you think this might be implemented? As a notification the way mobile does? Or maybe some always-on-screen task manager-esque inidicator?

I'd think something like this could be sufficient, with more info on hover and the ability to ignore the warning.

You know how tabs have a little loudspeaker icon if they're playing sound? Maybe something like that if they go over a threshold of (say) > 50% resources, where "resources" means any of RAM, disk, IO, etc.
