Tip: do not use "virtual memory size" on Linux to measure your memory
usage. That number has very little correlation with memory usage or
with anything that anyone cares about. Use the resident set size
instead, and think of it as a lower bound. (Or turn off swap and
think of it as a good measurement.)
Another tip: use the valgrind "massif" tool to profile the memory
usage of your application.

measurements might be measuring the wrong thing)
