I think this patch is trying to collect data similar to what we do for
pg_stat_statements for SQL statements. So, can't we follow a similar
idea such that these additional statistics will be collected once some
external module like pg_stat_statements is enabled? That module should
be responsible for accumulating and resetting the data, so we won't
have this memory consumption issue.

BTW, how will these new statistics be used to autotune a vacuum? And
do we need all the statistics proposed by this patch?
