There have been one or two other threads where this has been suggested as well. I originally had a similar thought, but after some thought I honestly think it sounds very complicated, you'll have both CPU hours and memory-meg-hours (or whatever).
I sometimes see much higher memory usage than expected, and we've got no tools to debug this on production. It would probably just add another area of 'discussion' and questioning.
