FWIW I now do have something which makes this.  if anyone is interested I could clean it up and put it somewhere (in a while).  You tell it when you stop caring about small things (95% memory seems to be fine) and it will them remember those classes and track their space usage over time.  It needs Racket (makes the plots) and a better version of size-by-class than I posted.

This plot is an old quiescent LW which I loaded and ran some code in and then I think ran (gc-generation 3) (the big fall).

A logarithmic plot might be better.
