ps -eo pid --sort rss | tail -1 | xargs sudo strace -fp
would show what the application with the most ram is doing but you'd
ideally want to filter the trace for certain calls.
for a solution not so advanced / technical:
ps -eo pid,rss,cmd --sort rss | tail
this will show the process with the most reserved memory at the
bottom, along with listing the process name.
