Greetings all Rubyings,

Is there a direct way for a ruby app. to  
check its memory utilization?

I have searched a while using various keywords  
but have been unable to find any references.

I’m hoping to find core support analogous  
to Python’s “os.sysconf(‘SC\_AVPHYS\_PAGES’)”.

If such a thing is not available, I’ll be  
happy to write it, especially if we can get it  
into the core spec.

Cheers,

–david
