So ... I know that you're aware of my rate statistics collection code
(at least you should be, I showed it to Jouni), so I think you should
state why that approach isn't suitable.

In particular, I don't like the idea that you implement here of allowing
unresponsive (or dead) userspace to let the data pile up indefinitely. I
think we should be sending it out upon reaching a threshold to limit the
memory consumption in the kernel more reliably.
