Description

While the profiler allows to compare two profiles for code execution (stack frames), it's not possible to actually compare the memory usage. I have to do such a comparison for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1669169#c16.

Here two profiles that I want to compare: https://share.firefox.dev/32SgQrR and https://share.firefox.dev/2H5gx5g

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by examining the existing profile-comparison flow for stack frames and load the two linked profiles to determine how their memory usage should be compared; done means the profiler supports a useful memory comparison for those profiles and has coverage for the behavior.
