Live Bytes is the current usage that interests you, and shared bytes include all released selections. Another thing is to look at the graph and look at the tops. As an example, I saw a huge peak of about 27 MB in the application I was working on, knowing that I was able to reduce the peak memory usage to 8 MB.
Also, keep an eye on the time when you are working on your application, it is possible that over time there will be a significant increase in memory that has not leaked, just is no longer used.
For a description of the memory columns, see Explanation of Bytes and Common Bytes .
