Maybe, but it would be nice if the option was built in anyway. I don't
suppose there is any way to add it as a user configuration?
You can (more or less) easily pipe i3status through a wrapper script
(see [1] and example wrappers [2]) that you can use to add functionality
as you like.
You might also be interested in i3blocks [3] as a replacement for
i3status. This makes adding new scripts more straight-forward and even
has example MEM/CPU scripts included (I did not follow the whole
discussion here, so I don't know if these fit your needs).
Cheers,
Johannes
