Comment:

 Although serialising and deserialising the result of `with_ccs` gets rid
 of the non-determinism in total allocations AFAICT (using Read/Show is
 pretty slow, so I only did ~20 iterations), the average residency/number
 of samples seems to vary by one (23 vs. 24). Not sure if it's important.
