Open the Timelines tab. In the Events view, enable "JavaScript Allocations" panel in the left sidebar, by clicking the Edit button.
Reload the page to start recording the timeline. Perform actions that are expected to be memory neutral.
Take snapshot using the Camera icon after each repetition. Use the Compare button to compare the snapshots for any visible memory spikes.
