Could toil also store requested cores data for stats purposes?

I'm not aware if recent versions do this already, but it would be nice to store stats about the number of cpus requested by jobs. Doing clock / cores could help calculate cpu efficiency.

Thoughts?

I think the JobDescription tracks the cores requirement for each job, unless it ended up using the default for the workflow run because no explicit requirement was set.

Where would you want this information to be visible to the user, @jsmedmar? Maybe in the table from toil stats?

Yes, toil stats human and json. This would be very nice!
