I want a search that will list saved searches that are (historically) consuming high CPU, memory, and take a long time to execute.

The Distributed Management Console has a dashboard for a similar search.

It's under the Search Menu -> Activitiy -> Search Usage Statistics : Deployment under the title "Long Running Searches"

Also, Search Menu -> Activity -> Search Activity : Deployment under the title "Top 20 Memory-Consuming Searches"

It has a bunch of other useful dashboards.

I thought of taking the query by clicking "open in search" and appending it.
