running the profilingbinary (that was compiled with -prof -auto-all) 
with the -c option resulted in;

top: showing a max of 161mb memory usage
profiled-graph: showing a peak at a little more than 80mb

i guess these results are more or less normal? It does however mean that
my datastructures are pretty harsh on the garbage collector, doesnt it?
