Description
it would be really cool to be able to get some feedback on whether changing some code had an effect on mem usage or instructions executed. I am guessing the back end of playground is using linux. The next version of criterion is going to monitor instruction counts so it's possible we could do this...

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or backend entry points. Start by locating the Playground backend and how it runs Rust programs on Linux, then investigate whether Criterion's instruction-count monitoring can expose peak memory and executed-instruction feedback. Done means both measurements are reported to users when comparing code changes.
