Most of us are familiar with heatmaps but just in case: they track kills, showing in a generalized sense where combat occurs on a map. You can also track sentry building locations.

Has anyone tried to track framerates on a heatmap? Or make a plugin to do it?

Since fps would vary by user, I would expect this to be a utility to run on an empty map. Maybe plot points at X hammer units apart, take an FPS reading in the eight radial directions, then plot the next point, then use that data to create a heatmap of where the fps drops are. Would this even be possible?

Because damned if this info wouldn't be useful for finding out which optimization tweaks are helping the most.

I'm not sure how this would be more useful than using r_lockpvs and other such tools

I would think it would be MOST useful running on not empty maps letting you collect data, filter it, and regenerate the heatmap map based on different hardware configurations.
