these are the numbers directly involving Clutter; as you can see, it's
not Clutter the problem, as we don't have any dirty shared data. in
other words, you're probably:

  1. loading a lot of images
  2. linking to a truckload of libraries
  3. worrying about the numbers but not really understanding them

for instance, the bulk of allocations are coming from your own process,
e.g.:

  16308 kb 0 kb 16308 kb

which means you're allocating 15.9 MB.

it seems that you're using Ben Maurer's perl script: that's a nice way
to see if libraries are not behaving correctly (too many shared .data
sections which should really be .rodata, etc.) but not for applications.

what you really want is probably exmap (also try exmap-console[1]).
