This page has really helped me in the past

I don't know, but it's easy to find out. Create an external method that
sleeps for a number of seconds. You can also experiment with
RESPONSE.write() to see if it affects anything.

I don't think so. I can't think of a way you could have this information
from python seeing that, on linux at least, all memory is owned by all
threads of a process. You could try to install the ForensicLogger and
configure a small interval between measurements.
