>> The event has been implemented for Linux, MacOS, and Windows. The name ResidentSetSize isn't a perfect fit for the values extracted from MacOS and Windows, but I think it is better to name this after something that many people are familiar with instead of trying to find a generic name that fits all platforms. Do you agree with that, or should we change it to something else?

>> I've manually sanity checked that we get reasonable values on all OS:es. I've also added a jtreg test.
