During debugging 848316 I noticed that it is really hard to find bugs that are caused by a busy main thread. 
We should add annotations when events are delayed for maybe > 100 msec or if there is no advance in the event loop.
I am scared that we have more bugs like this in gaia.

I don't know how hard this is to implement but it would be super useful!
We have event loop lag indicators in cleopatra these days. I think that's what was asked for in this bug.
