Some of that information may be useful for general purpose too, e.g. the avg live data set and object size/count information might be quite useful to have.

I think my review does not count here, because I am in "Commiter" role here. You can relax this by doing e.g. https://github.com/openjdk/jcstress/blob/master/.jcheck/conf#L39-L41
