I know this has something to do with Instruments, but well it's kind of confusing and searching for Instruments on Google doesn't help much.

I'd like to know how well my app runs, like how much memory it uses. I just don't know where to find something like: "As close as we can tell from the simulator you'll app will currently be using xx MBs of RAM on a real iphone device."

I need help on how to get this information.
