Getting this information in a cross-platform way is a huge pain (do we even
do it properly for mac yet?), so it seems like a decent idea to let
extensions reuse the work done rather than reimplementing everything.
I'd suggest having the browser fire some sort of update event to the
extension whenever the metrics are updated rather than forcing the extension
to poll. This is how the task manager works currently.
