Yes, I've also suggested this before.  I'm willing to expose just about 
any metric that makes sense.  We need to be careful about not exposing 
implementation details, but things like iteration count, last working 
set size, average working set size, etc. should all be relatively stable 
metrics even if the implementation changes.
