Just merged in is a new compiler switch that instruments generated code to collect statistics on memory allocation usage and generates a report upon program termination. (Much like how -profile works.)

This was based on a prototype Andrei had written earlier.

Andrei and I suspect it can be of great use in figuring out why a program may be excessively slow or consume excessive memory.

I encourage giving it a try on some non-trivial project, and see if it gives useful information.
