# This is a memory profiler for Ruby. Once started, it runs in a thread in the
# background, periodically inspecting Ruby's ObjectSpace to look for new
# objects and printing a count of objects added and removed since the previous
# cycle.
#
# To use the profiler, do something like this:
#
#   require 'memory_profiler'
#
#   MemoryProfiler.start
#
# The profiler will write logs to ./log/memory_profiler.log.
#
# If you start MemoryProfiler with the ':string_debug => true' option, then it
# will dump a list of all strings in the app into the log/ directory after
# each cycle.  You can then use 'diff' to spot which strings were added
# between runs.
