Need utility to compare !DumphHeap results from two dump files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Before I write this utility myself - I thought someone must have
written such things - so why inventing the wheel?

Problem: Memory leak in large application
Memory profiler does not handle the load or affect the application
performance
Memory profiler can't be installed on customer site

Due to the above limitation - I simulate the memory profiler work using
comparison of dump files
Since the same investigation type repeat from time to time, I thought
it is time to automate things up.

The main output I need is a list of allocated types sorted by the
DIFFERENCE between the two dumps

Please point me to code or tool that can do this

Thanks

Loy
