Yes, in my post I was referring to the Cuis adaptation of the reference finder tool (which I believe was ported from the Squeak version) which is resulting in the OOM. This is not surprising as my starting point from a memory usage standpoint is already fairly high at ~250M. It was this issue (the OOM/slowness) that finally caused me to post my question to this list as I was wondering if the VM might have some facilities to help make tracking this down more efficient.
It was a complete shot in the dark as I wasn't sure if there were any other tools / VM primitives I could leverage for this. The lack of suggestions on this front is causing me to think not and that I'll just have to slog through it with what I have.

It depends on what, specifically, you are doing.
There are tools in Caregory Tools-ReferenceFinder which I suspect would be of help.
I've been using reference finder and weight explorer to do some preliminary investigation but given the current size of this image (250M) it's slow going with each search taking upwards of a minute and running into OOM problems. But if that's all there is, I'll keep going down this path.
