Well, since it looks like I may be the first to be getting in a response to this news - I'd like to say something positive!
I think that the monitor is not only a good thing, but personally I would even
expect it of a well managed free webhost.
Why should a few greedy or careless website-developing members here be allowed to hog 90% of the system resources, so that other members' sites grind to a halt or become unusable?
Not only is this monitor fair to have, but it is also enforced very non-aggressively. For 2 breaches of the limits, members can un-suspend themselves each time. And even for the third breach, which requires a support ticket, un-suspension is still possible (I don't know what happens after that, though!

Ideally, we would have some sort of usage meter in our panel as well. Most novices won't really know what set-ups in their site will cause what system demands. Maybe that isn't practical to implement, or maybe it will be introduced later.
But if, as Bryon explains, putting demands on "a system's processing power for long enough to be suspended will only happen if you are doing something not normal" - then it seems that most of us shouldn't even be affected by this new monitor. At least, not in any detrimental way.
