Gramps v. 6.0.8 on macOS

I usually don’t shut down Gramps, so at the moment Gramps has been running since April 11th.
During this time the memory allocation has grown from around 300 MB at startup till 10.61 GB as of today. It looks like it’s growing 500 MB per day (when I’m actively using Gramps).

Resource wise it’s not a problem as I have plenty of unused memory.

Will make a cron job to monitor Gramps, so I get a better picture of the memory allocation.
Are there any tools to investigate into running Python applications, that I should use?

We have some memory leak fixes for an upcoming release.
