Being able to separate them seems useful even if it's just from the
performance research perspective of comparing "PGO only", "LTO only"
and "PGO+LTO".
The LTO only numbers may be of questionable relevance to us as CPython
developers, but I can definitely see them being of interest to the
folks working on C compiler toolchains.
Cheers,
Nick.
