Some users have suggested more descriptive names:

objects_in_shared_memory
objects_in_mapped_file
objects_in_heap_memory
objects_in_user_memory

A bit long but I think the class expresses very clearly its use. We can 
make it shorter with "objects_in_shmem"/"objects_in_mfile", but is not 
very pronounceable. This name issue is harder than the review! Comments?

Best,
