Windows only for desktop agents and Android and iOS for mobile (though Android 
only supports Chrome currently, haven't had a chance to look at remote 
controlling Firefox on Android).

"Memory Usage" is .... complicated.  Specially when you try to compare 
different architectures.  Working set? Virtual memory? Accounting for shared 
pages, etc.  Optimizing for the wrong thing can have negative impacts (like 
optimizing for the working set displayed in task manager is easy by forcing a 
process to page out periodically but it's artificial and not good for anybody).

WebPageTest used to track it at one point but the data wasn't actually useful 
so I removed it. If anyone has suggestions on how to do it in a useful way I'd 
be happy to add it.
