Calculate and show churn? #3

Open michaelherold opened 8 years ago

I toyed with the idea of calculating memory "churn", which I define as the ratio of retained memory to allocated memory. This is trivial to calculate but I'm not sure whether this is a useful metric.

I'd like some discussion around the usefulness of churn to help decide whether to include it or not.
