Current ')set message storage on' can report the total memory
usage, but it can't report the memory recycled by GC.
For a certain computation, there is memory needed by the result,
and memory allocated by temporary objects and can be recycled later.
This stat of "memory recycled by GC" can be a useful indicator,
to tell if the algorithm is memory efficient.
The typical use should be this, do a GC first, then the computation
and a GC after that.
