"ps -C $command v" will give you a snapshot for the given command.

For X clients, you also need to use "xrestop" to find out about memory
used by the X server on the client's behalf.  Unfortunately clients
don't really have names so it appears to make a best effort using a
mixture of window titles and process names.
