I'll try to check it today

measuring memory inside this test would be helpful but if it's not possible or really hard we can skip that

I didn't expect that this memory measurement inside Rust test would be problematic but seems that it is.

I added my review of how I see it to be mergeable.

I'm retracting my Approval, there is still some investigation going on.
