Re: Minimo memory analysis

I had once asked this on the n.p.m.performance. How many of the 
http://www.mozilla.org/performance/ projects are still useful. Would it 
make sense to get a few of them to use for Minimo ? Especially
http://www.mozilla.org/performance/footprint-brownbag.html and
http://www.mozilla.org/performance/runtime-tracing.html.
I think these projects would be very valuable for Minimo. What do you 
think ?
