Thanks Michael, do not worry about TotalAlloc.. we do have that metric to
replace somehow but we might even think about dropping it completely.
I was honestly wondering if TotalAlloc (cumulative bytes allocated for heap
objects) is a useful metric to have at all since Go uses garbage
collection. I don't believe this could even be useful for heap
fragmentation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter since
you're obviously more experienced than me in this regard.
