Subject: Ruby Memory Profile

Hello Rubyists,
I'm writing quite a quiet a resource hungry program (current about
3300 lines of Ruby code).

I think I've got the running time down to a reasonable level (of
course CPU is 100% all the way), thanks to profile.rb and rbprof.rb!

But when I look at top, memory consumption is crazy; it's about 2MB
every second! On my 1GB system, it was swapping (thanks to the Linux
kernel, still not thrashing) in about 10 minutes...

So my question: Anybody has built or know of a memory profiler in
Ruby? Somewhat akin to profile.rb/rbprof.rb but for memory usage...
