OK, no problem with rolling it back. My apologies for acting too fast, I strongly believe in RERO philosophy.
Can you please provide more info on how native APIs can be used for reporting memory usage data? That is, how a web app can signal that a measurement is needed to be taken at a certain point in its code?
