I took some measurements last June [1] based on some earlier ones Eric and
Nick did. About half the overhead in content processes comes from JS. The
next biggest bucket is heap-unclassified. More concretely, our content
process overhead at that time was 22MB, and about 10MB of that was JS. So
12MB is probably an upper bound on the overhead for things like the GPU and
GMP processes.
