DMD found that the atoms table is quite big.  E.g. after loading Gmail it's just over 2MB (1.5%) on my Linux64 box.

This patch also adds a "runtime" reporter, which is 282KB on my box.  Not that big, but doesn't hurt to include it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

On the subject of the large atom state, it would be interested to measure how many of those atoms have been "interned" since interned strings are never swept and thus could be a source of leaks.  This is pretty easy to derive (see js_TraceAtomState).
