Use-case: GPU pressure #9

It would be nice to understand GPU load as well, as in some cases this is a bottleneck, not a CPU. For example, when on low notebook in a video conference I screenshare external 4k screen, built-in internal GPU is 50-60% busy, CPU is 30% busy, and everything starts working very slowly - even mouse becomes jerky.

Yes, we could support this in the API using someting like entryTypes (https://www.w3.org/TR/performance-timeline/#dom-performanceobserverinit) ie "cpu", "gpu".

Thought level 1 is CPU only, we should make sure it can be extended to support other sources in the future

In video conferencing use cases, the bottleneck could also be the camera capture device. For example, iOS/iPadOS provide AVCaptureDevice.SystemPressureState API: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10047/?time=1698

It is perhaps a good idea to document possible future extensions somewhere in the specification.
