I very much believe in that scenario!  I'm just not sure whether it's
best done within pmie vice within a more clever pmlogger.  An extra
complication is that pmie requires a second connection to pmcd (a
temporary one at that, repeatedly suffering startup costs); it cannot
piggy-back on an archive being written-to by pmlogger.
