Lets suppose you started a render job on Haiku and it eats all your CPU.
Now you remember, you have to check something on the web. You can go to
ProcessController to change the render prio, but thats not nice.
For Gui programs i can imagine a keyboard/mouse shortcut to
freeze/unfreeze application state. For multi-threaded programs the whole
process-tree have to be frozen from the selected window (or tab for cli
programs).
The frozen programs would get a PAUSE symbol overlay.
