I didn't report this as a bug, because I was asking whether anybody
knows whether Emacs has such functionality or not.  I know that Emacs
tries to keep the number of timers firing down (by stopping blinking
cursors and the like), so I wondered whether anybody had taken that one
step further and stopped process filters altogether.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with Gnome Shell, and it's Emacs 27.
