Maybe.

The bug here is that due to a bug in the site, there's JavaScript code runs
over and over again. That's what's so slow.

>From the point of view of the "stop JavaScript infinite loop" code, there's no
difference between code that takes a long time to run and code that loops
forever.

On the other hand, it's not clear if our solution for that will work well for a
case where the slowness is due to many separate slow JavaScript event handlers
as opposed to one single event. I think the best answer is to revisit this once
we have that problem solved. Although there may be a separate issue, I don't
think that yet another separate bug report would help matters.
