NMT shows how much native memory the JIT uses but lumps together footprints from concurrent compilations, making its peak values arbitrary. And we have no way to associate the NMT numbers with individual allocations.

Also, I know it is not currently an option to specify enum values for cflag types but it would be more coherent from a user perspective if there was one compiler directive with 3 possible values

  MemStat = Off*/Collect/Print  *=default
