Oooh my brain hurts! What namespace are we in? I assume a class is the 
code that is loaded to implement an external (the .dll or .pd_linux) and 
the object is just the struct particular to one instance of the class 
(or is it the other way round?). If this is the case they should both 
show up as extra memory allocated to the pd process, the struct being a 
relatively trivial amount of that memory. (of course I'm probably wrong 
here again ;()
