Memory Footprint of DevTools

[Jonathan Lim]

Hi,

I'm trying to track down potential JS memory leaks and DOM node leaks in a web app I'm developing using the Chrome DevTools. (Memory and Performance tabs)

I also have the Chrome Task manager running to monitor Memory footprints and JavaScript memory being used. 

When I initially launch the DevTools, I see about 57,000K for the memory footprint in the Task Manager tab.

After running a few performance profiles, I notice that the "Memory Footprint" for the Developer Tools increases by quite a bit (~200,000K).

My questions are:

- What could this increasing Memory Footprint value for the Developer Tools tab mean in the Task Manager?

- Does this value reveal anything about the web app I'm debugging?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Profiles that you capture are stored in the same memory and the memory consumption in Task Manager reflects that. It does not reveal anything about the web app you debug, it would happen with any other app.
