Thanks!

Yes, I think that'd be good. I think we either should print the stats at
the top level as $leader_value, $combined_worker_value, $total_value or
just have the $combined_worker_value at the level where we print other
stats from the worker, too.

Wouldn't it be better to move the jit instrumentation to outside of the
context, to avoid having to do this?  Or just cope with not having
instrumentation for the leader in this case?  We'd kinda need to deal
with failure to create one anyway?
