That technology is not out there... A static site might be fun at that level and not causing problems, where as a WordPress site with super cache is fine, but then a Drupal site can only handle 1/4th of that.

It currently is not really possible to track that per user in a shared environment and see who is using what resources from an individual perspective of MySQL / Apache / CPU / Mem.

That technology is not out there

Ofcourse it is.

Or how do you think they determined that it was pg's site causing the trouble?

Absolutely wrong. That technology exists and is being used millions of times a day at sites all over the world. DreamHost, for example, employs just such a technology for their shared hosting: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CPU_minutes
