Markus Kohler (of MAT fame) suggested something which I think would be really useful: add an audit which finds detached DOM trees held alive only by event listeners. This is a pretty easy and common way to leak memory and is almost always unwanted. Perhaps we could highlight those in the heap profiler?

Did anything happen with this request? It would seem to be an incredibly useful feature for developers and devops guys, especially given the ever-increasing complexity of JS-heavy webapps nowadays.

Memory profiling was a Chromium-only feature. Migrated into https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=234091
