measuring memory consumptions

[Valerio Schiavoni <valerio.schiavoni@...>]

Hello,
i'd like to compare the memory requirements of a lua module against an
older version.
The stress test I'd like to do is such that I want to get the memory
consumption along a timeline.

Looking at the lua profiler
(http://luaprofiler.luaforge.net/manual.html) it seems like
it helps finding bottlenecks, which is not something i'm directly interested.

The counting profile from http://www.lua.org/pil/23.3.html doesn't help either.

Suggestions?

thanks,
valerio
