/memory/<int:mb>
  Allocates a specified number of megabytes of memory and holds it for 1 second.

/memfree/<int:mb>
  Releases a specified number of megabytes of memory if available.

/memory
  Allocates 1 megabyte of memory and holds it for 1 second.

/memfree
  Releases 1 megabyte of memory if available.
