There are at least two projects that provides this kind of statistics
for backends: pg_proctab (https://github.com/markwkm/pg_proctab) and
pg_stat_kcache (https://github.com/dalibo/pg_stat_kcache). Michael also
wrote an article on this topic some weeks ago
(http://michael.otacoo.com/postgresql-2/postgres-calculate-cpu-usage-process/).
