I have no idea what this patch is supposed to provide.  It seems to count
something.  What use is that?

If you want to be taken seriously, you need to explain clearly what benefit
the brings.  The comments you did provide say something about tuning.  Maybe
some step-by-step instructions on how you would use this new functionality to
tune something, and some results indication how something performed better
after the tuning.
