The only thing that it cannot do is to sample based on object count (i.e., every 100 objects) instead of based on object size (i.e., every 1MB of allocations). But I think doing sampling based on size is the right approach here (IMHO).

I would think that the size based sampling would create a size based bias in your sampling. Since IME, it’s allocation frequency is more damaging to performance, I’d prefer to see time boxed sampling
