Can we stop with the config file option for everything nonsense.
I know that it makes sense for demos and special case testing, but
config options just increase the testing space and also make life
more difficult for distributions.

Unless there is a reason that these statistics should never be
used, why aren't they always present. If you say they hurt performance,
then do something about it (like using per-core statistics).
