Last night I threw together a quick document describing how to use
massif with GNOME with the intention of using it to "seed" an
optimisation section on developer.gnome.org. (Say under
Documentation/Programming Guides.) I can probably also write one about
xrestop.

Sri has already pointed out that a wiki would be good, but the website
already exists.

Barring major objections, I should have something up by the end of the
weekend.
