an instrumented copy of membuster lives here: http://people.mozilla.com/~sayrer/2011/membuster.html http://people.mozilla.com/~sayrer/2011/02/membuster-stats/linux3.6.html http://people.mozilla.com/~sayrer/2011/02/membuster-stats/linux-mc.html These stats show that m-c is carrying 50-100 DOMWindows more than 3.6, and m-c leaves 200 DOMWindows around after the run has completed. The detailed m-c stats show that image-data, mjit code, and layout (to a lesser extent) are the bigger bits. js/gc-heap doesn't shrink. Unfortunately, these stats don't yet account for the full browser's memory usage. The builds are debug anyway. I want to add total counts of JSObjects, and the size of the Cycle Collector graph. This page is run with these prefs: browser.dom.window.dump.enabled;true dom.popup_maximum;700 and people.mozilla.com is allowed to open popups.

I should add, I also keep an altered copy of about:memory open during the run. It runs in a 10 second setTimeout, so I can track the stats over time.

the WIP python analysis scripts. it processes the stdout/stderr of a debug browser build running membuster (or anything, I guess) and makes graphs. http://hg.mozilla.org/users/rsayre_mozilla.com/membuster-analysis

Unfortunately the URLs in comment 0 no longer work because Sayre's page is gone. The python scripts in comment 3 are still available.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-JlKDPLKEZUJ:people.mozilla.com/~sayrer/2011/membuster.html Rehosted http://m8y.org/tmp/membuster.html Seems to be self-contained. Could probably be attached to the bug.

This bug isn't useful any more.
