It's a fairly new statistics item, added with the chunked mempool
allocator in 2002.

It's the relation of estimated process size minus mempool allocations
accounted for. Estimated process size is reported a little above in the
mallinfo section.

Not at all sure how much or how correct the estimated process size is.
mallinfo which it's based on is broken in many ways..
