[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Update to the topic:

- I've setup up debug pipeline and was able to make a proper clean build 
and ensured GC plenty had plenty time to grab (snapshots every 30s)
- Only minor leaks are remaining
- I started looking at the allocations: on clean instance moving 
mouse/resizing window was expensive (see excerpt)
- Instance with uptime of 1 hour it has footprint of 405MiB (mind the 
debugging symbols though)

Best,
Przemysław Alexander Kamiński
