I feel like more of a hindrance from the real issues than being helpful.

Memory leaks seem easy to detect, however, building with KMEMLEAK
debugging on can take up to 50-67% of system time, as I've noticed
a couple of days ago ...

It is obviously incurring some overhead. I did not expect a kernel compilation
as computation-heavy process to have such an impact from memory object
debugging.

Best regards,
Mirsad
