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.

I think it would be nice to be able to set a memory limit per compilation and have the VM abort once that limit is reached. Would that be worth a follow-up RFE?
