console.memory?

[Mr.doob]

Hello,

I've been trying to add a memory section to a performance monitor of
mine. For some reason "console.memory.usedJSHeapSize" and
"console.memory.totalJSHeapSize" return 0 all the time. In all OS.

Can that information be retrieved anymore? Maybe sits now somewhere
else?

Thanks!

You need to run with the command line switch --enable-memory-info and
in Chrome 6+, you'll find memory under window.webkitPerformance
instead of window.console.

Thanks! Implemented.

Is there any reason why --enable-memory-info is required?
Couldn't it be enabled by default?

Thanks guys!
