Before this change we used to exec() various binaries to find out memory
information.
While this worked, it was awfully slow.
And if somebody would want to compute how many percent of available memory all
PIDs on the system uses, that would take almost ten seconds on my laptop with
the previous implementation.
This implementation fares a lot better, and is smaller.
