Subject: Re: memory measurements

I'm a linux guy.  Here's what I do to get the memory of the
current ruby process:

IO.readlines("/proc/#{Process.pid}/status").grep(/VmSize/).display

Of course this is non-portable too.

I'd imagine to get a non-portable solution, you'd need
something in GC/ObjectSpace to figure out how much its objects
are taking up.
