Dear @uboot,

Please look at [my recent post](https://forum.p4.org/t/can-open-p4-studio-display-memory-utilization-for-table-entries-and-how-can-i-check-it/1459/2). It explains how to obtain the same information (although in less graphical form) directly from the compiler.

I even wonder if it would be possible to ask an AI to recreate p4insight, since all the info is there 🙂 (or can be recomputed)

Happy hacking,  
Vladimir
