I strongly recommend using Heap Buddy for this.  We've used it very
successfully in identifying problems in Beagle.  Whether it's doing
large, unnecessary allocations (and fragmenting the heap) or doing
allocations that are never collected by the GC (like adding objects to a
static hash table), it can help.

I blogged a bit about using it to identify a big leak in Mono a few
weeks ago:
