| `resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss` returns the peak memory usage, in *bytes* on BSD (including Mac OS X) and in *kilobytes* on Linux. This means that to get a cross-platform value, the user has to check `sys.platform`, which is fairly inconvenient. It would seem like a good idea to return a platform-independent value (e.g., multiply the Linux return value by 1000 - or is it 1024?!) Please see also * https://bugs.python.org/issue20468 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/7669482/850781 Thank you! | ||

| Experiment shows that the Linux multiplier is 1024 (not 1000). |
