Nice tool.
But is there any lib code or plugin to use it with Rails easily?

I plan on adding a Memprof.dump_all which will produce a full heap dump which can be analyzed to calculate the size of any given object. It's tricky because the size of an Object has to take into account all the instance variables and singleton methods attached to it, etc.

Very impressive tool! It would also be super useful if it could spit out the number of bytes an object used. Your thoughts?

Not really sure what CREFs are yet =)

Awesome stuff guys, looking forward to playing with it once it's merged into memprof.

Question: CREF nodes?
