The + configuration profile represents the set of configuration parameters + for a given meter object, such as the rates and sizes for the token + buckets. These configuration parameters were previously the part of meter + object internal data strcuture. The separation of the configuration + parameters from meter object data structure results in reducing its + memory footprint which helps in better cache utilization when large number + of meter objects are used.
