Description
Currently the memory track only shows the amount of memory (relative to the start of the process), as captured in the `"count"` field of memory counters.
But Firefox also provides a `"number"` field, which is the number of time an allocation/deallocation function was called.
This could be useful to show, to indicate time ranges where lots of memory operations happened, regardless of the number of bytes involved.
It could be a sort of heat map, showing shades of orange along the existing memory graph.
