In latest Chrome DevTools I can see a new information:

enter image description here

Now, I'm not sure how to use this information. It seems to appear randomly in the app. How can I debug the app to avoid potential out-of-memory crashes? I checked in task manager that at the moment when this information appears the app uses about 55K memory which in case of this app is quite low (when it computes some data it can be much higher memory consumption).

So I'm wondering if this information is accurate and there is a risk of crashing. If so, what should I do with it?
