Currently the memory timeline for a simple loop like

function init()
{
    var ref = window.setInterval(function() { draw(); }, 50);
}

function draw()
{
    return true
}

shows lots of memory usage. That memory usage is from dev tools which makes it kind of hard for developers to reason about their apps.

Is there some say devtools memory usage can be separated from user app memory usage? Switch allocators when entering dev tools code or switch kind of category that you can ignore for dev tools code?
