Details

In Bug 1494473 counters on the IC chain are being added. We should have a spew mode that highlights cases where the IC chain appears to be underperforming. This will be chains where the entry count at the fallback is approximately the entry count of each element on the chain. For example: 1005 -> 1004 -> 1003 -> 1002 -> 1001 -> (fb) 1000 Would be a chain where every IC has failed every time, leading to the creation of five stubs that never provide any value.
Whoops. This is why you don't whip up examples willy nilly. Got the chain backwards: 1000 -> 1001 -> 1002 -> 1003 -> 1004 -> (fb) 1005
