Details

Heap usage analysis is still painful for us, and pathological 500mb-1gb heaps are (in my experience) showing up more and more often in firefox. The about:memory work in bug 563700 is good if we're actually reporting the problem areas, but I think it'd be good to also work on heap analysis tools (either based on valgrind output, trace-malloc output, or something more crude) that give more detail and capture at a lower level. I'm envious in particular of this: http://www.eclipse.org/mat/ Anyone want to try producing a C++ clone?
jseward was working on something like this, no?
(In reply to comment #1) > jseward was working on something like this, no? Quite so, I hadn't seen bug 551477 fly by. This is a dupe of it. I'll mention MAT in the comments section there.
