A few questions concerning the "nft set" syntax

I'm in the middle of reading nft manual concerning the "nft set" syntax, 
and I wanted to ask a few questions to clarify some things I can't figure 
out.

1. What is the "mark" set type? I understand the other types, but I don't 
   really know how would I use this one.
2. What are flags? There are "constant", "interval" and "timeout", but 
   there's no info on what they do. So what's the difference between them?
3. There's a "timeout flag" and also a regular "timeout". What's the
   difference between them?
4. In the case of "size", we can read the following: "maximun number of 
   elements in the set, mandatory if set is added to from the packet path 
   (ruleset)". What does "from the packet path (ruleset)" really mean?
5. The next thing is "policy", which can be one of "performance" and 
   "memory". What does the policy do? The default is the fist one. What 
   if I set the other one? What will change?
