So, from your suggestion, it would make most sense to perform (gc-generation 3) before doing the memory dump from Tim? Allow the system to discard the accumulated garbage first? Then compare dumps from two separated times.

My experience running (gc-generation 3) in the past has shown that the memory image is indeed increasing. The results of the call do keep increasing, which would indicate memory actually in-use.
