I think that it has little use right now unless you plan changing GC
settings. The planned "session summary", in principle, may include
session history data, including sessions recorded in the past. So, you
might study your own usage data if you keep the package running.

However, I do not plan to look into statistics that will be submitted to
the list in future. At least, not until we discuss the available data on
emacs-devel. We may or may not decide that it is necessary to see usage
statistics with alternative candidate set of GC defaults. I will
announce another statistics gathering round if necessary.
