You wrap your call in a higher-order function that compares the  
Gc.stat () before and after your call, see discussion here [1] and  
here [2].

This is only a half solution since it is a very manual one. However  
if you have a hint on where you allocate a lot this may be usefull to  
compare different implementations and their memory usage.
