Periodically reading /proc/$INKSCAPE_PID/statm will tell you your memory usage in space-separated "pages" (typically 4KB each.) See `man proc`.
Okay so I did this: cripts:$ cat /proc/`pidof inkscape`/statm 29570 21732 4625 1280 0 17494 0 I have no idea what those numbers mean. Is this gonna be useful to a dev? Should I collect them over time and build up a little bit of history?
I confess the other suggestions with ps and top are (zip!) going over my head. man ps has to be the most intimidating text I have ever seen :o
