 * Take a look. I did use UsageDD with your plugin. And there is a difference.
    
   Your plugin: 8mb UsageDD: 40.24mb
 * something is weird.

 * Hi Colomet,
 * We get the used memory with the PHP function `memory_get_peak_usage()`. More 
   info: [http://php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-peak-usage.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-peak-usage.php)(
   PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7).
 * This value should reflect the memory used by WordPress. The plugin uses a standard
   PHP function `memory_get_peak_usage()` and we can’t influence the value.
 * We have checked the UsageDD plugin and it uses the same function to get the used
   memory by PHP:
    `$memory_usage = round(memory_get_peak_usage() / 1048576, 2);`
 * We have checked on some of our installations and the displayed memory usage of
   both plugins are quite similar.
 * The difference on your installation can be because the two plugins don’t execute
   at the same moment. Each plugin displays the peak amount of memory at the moment
   it executes. That’s the only explanation we find.
 * Unfortunately we get the data from a standard PHP function and can’t investigate
   further.
 * Best regards from Spain.
