Very well explained, you're all right. Furthermore, our server is fairly complex: we're using quite some libraries to do different jobs, and one of the approaches (not the only one) that we're taking to deal with this beast is to analyze its memory-related behaviour from an external POV (thinking it as a black box). So, beyond it's arguable utility, do you think that having that information could harm us in some way? Regards, -- .
