See if this helps:

It would be nice to write a hook to dump memory data Eli is interesting
in and automatically email to Eli's! :D

Just kidding with the email, but to periodically insert whatever
stats Eli wants. Maybe each hour or so. I am gonna leave for today, I am
not at home much more, but maybe tomorrow if somebody can't do it.
