I think telemetry is useful to drive the GC work. We know how many of our
GCs are non-incremental (and for what reason). Same for full (all zone)
GCs. We know how long our GC slices are. There may be data that's not
captured by telemetry, but the data we do have seems pretty valuable anyway.

On the JIT/IC side, evilpie's IC logger/analyzer has been very useful. The
past months we've fixed tons of (often easy to fix) perf bugs that showed
up on actual websites our users visit.
