End of Week 13: Report

It would seem that every part of the project is working the way it is supposed to, so I think it would be good time to dive into some optimization. From the looks of things, both about:stats and about:memory slow the computer down on refresh (which is implicit in the former), and this can not be good. We do not want the page running in the background to halt the user's workflow with every refresh, and so, the memory calls would have to be interspersed through the refresh period, and not bundled together.

When implemented, this cleaned up the code quite a bit, and resulted in a notable performance improvement. The improved readability is an added bonus.
