One other thought here Ken is that you may want to have a look at a lab 
Angelo Rajadurai put together for JavaOne 2008 on DTrace.  It turns out 
there is a lot of non-Java content in it (it covers Ruby, PHP, MySQL, 
etc.), but there is a whole section on the Firefox DTrace provider.

I don't recall if it addresses resource consumption, but just getting 
you started with the provider using some samples may be useful.
