'waste_rate', if anyone is interested

Fair point .... so this raises a question about who is the audience for
the stats. If we expect the stats to be mainly consumed by tools and
monitoring frameworks, then I agree that we should just generate raw
numbers, but if we expect people to be directly using the stats, then I
think there is some value in these calculated numbers, even though they
are less than precise. Should we split the difference and generate both
the raw number and the calculated ratio?
As much as I hate the phrase, it sounds like ``just do both'' makes
perfect sense here.
1) Find out how much memory is in use, and how much is actually
required *right now*.
2) Trend the data over time.
Two variables increment -- only one decrements.
(sounds better if you say it with your dramatic voice)
