describes the sequential object layout for the respective
journal.
Sample output:

This provides insight into the distribution of object types, how
much space is spent on alignment padding, how frequently objects
land on page boundaries - something preferably avoided especially
for small objects near a boundary.
In the above example, we can immediately make the observation
that early in the journal there are interleaved data and field
objects, and this cluster of the initially added data and field
objects gets torn by a page boundary. It's possible if they
weren't interleaved when adding an entry and its respective data
+ fields, fitting all the early (common) data objects within a
single page might confer some performance gain. The field
objects aren't currently used by data object heavy operations, it
doesn't make much sense to have them polluting the area of the
initially added data objects or really any otherwise clustered
data objects.
