title: Does running Valgrind slow down my application?
body: <p>I simply want to keep track of how much memory various processes are using (different options can radically change the memory usage of this particular application). I don't like the various "find the process pid and grok /proc/pid/smaps" solutions described elsewhere...</p>
  
  <p>Is there an alternative command to use that will just dump memory usage of a particular process? memusage?</p>
