The summary tab provides a high level overview of all memory and handle activity in the program.

 

 

 summary-tab

 

 

The display is divided into many panels that contain bar graphs, dials or graphs. Some of the panels also contain hyperlinks.
 
Clicking any bar graph, graph or dial will take you to a more detailed version of the same data.

Bar graphs are usually shown in green/yellow, except when there are error conditions for that statistic, when they are shown in red.
