1. A metric processing system for processing metric information that reflects content processing parameters gathered with a network, the metric processing system comprising: a solid state memory; a metric reporting application program interface (API) to gather a plurality of metric reporting messages related to a plurality of end user computing devices; a metric reduction function that translates reference type information from the plurality of metric reporting messages into value types to create value type information; a value translation store that retains the value type information derived from the plurality of metric reporting messages as value types in the solid state memory; and a metric processing function that: causes retrieval of the value type information as a data structure from the solid state memory, processes the value type information using compiler-allocated stack memory to produce processed information that reduces the value type information without data loss, and causes storing of the processed information.
