While what you've done here works from a technical POV, I'm not a
fan of overloading the semantics of the API using a flag. Tuning
memory stat collection period has no semantic overlap with tuning
of memory limits.  So I'm inclined to say that we should have a
new dedicated API for tuning the memory stats period.
