Ithink it'll effectively respect the memory limit, at least in the local mem case. And the numbers will make sense.

I prefer option (1) as it's straight forward. I mentioned a similar
idea before[1]. RT_MEMORY_USAGE() is defined only when the macro is
defined. It might be worth checking if there is visible overhead of
tracking chunk memory space. IIRC we've not evaluated it yet.
