That's not something the debugger tracks actively - when the process is running we try to interfere with it as little as possible.  But on systems that have a way of getting per thread activity accounting, you could keep track of that information each time we stop and use that information to figure this out.

debugserver on OS X does some reporting of CPU activity, but I don't think that is per thread.  You can fetch that with Process::GetAsyncProfileData(), but at present that's just a pass-through (used by Xcode), lldb itself doesn't do anything with this information.
