Version 0.7.3 (2016-08-17):

* add ``--tracemalloc`` option: use the ``tracemalloc`` module to track
  Python memory allocation and get the peak of memory usage in metadata
  (``tracemalloc_peak``)
* add ``--track-memory`` option: run a thread reading the memory usage
  every millisecond and store the peak as ``mem_peak`` metadata
* ``compare_to``: add ``--group-by-speed`` (``-G``) and ``--min-speed`` options
* metadata: add ``runnable_threads``
* Fix issues on ppc64le Power8
