I just tried that and got error:

** (MJ12nodeMono.exe:25359): WARNING **: Error loading profiler module 
'mono-profiler-desc-heap':
libmono-profiler-desc-heap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory

Could not find that library anywhere on the system, is it supposed to be 
part of source distribution
of Mono? Perhaps some extra package is necessary to have this library 
installed?

I have no idea what RSS is, but Environment.WorkingSet returns the same 
value -- 0 on Linux, but it works
on Windows :-/
