I am not sure what it will convey to us. System memory state greatly
depends on other programs running alongside Emacs. I do not see much use
to track (memory-info) for every GC. Just initially, to catch system
memory stats.

Sure. gcs-done and gc-elapsed can be recorded after every GC. gc-elapsed
will directly provide data on total GC duration and running difference
of gc-elapsed will provide detailed statistics on GC cycle duration.

I will now try to record the data on my sessions and share it later.
We can then see what useful information can actually be extracted.
