New description:

 I learned about a few tools at PyCon that may be useful for this purpose.
 First, we should document these tools in the developer documentation so
 that others can work with them, too.  Second, we should apply them in
 development to see if there are any low-hanging fruit in terms of memory
 consumption.

  * sys.getsizeof (2.6 only)
  * Meliae - dumps a reference graph in JSON
  * gdb-heap - dumps the Python heap in GDB (mostly totals)

Comment:

 Memory performance hasn't been a big issue lately.  These notes are here
 pointing to useful tools, but there's no action in this bug.
