Even if this question is quiet old. I think a small tutorial with images might be helpful. So first you need to install the MAT plugin. After a restart click on Dump HPROF file:

After some time (about 30 seconds) you'll get a dialog where you can click on finish. Than you get this view:

There you left click on the biggest part and filter for with outgoing references. Then you get this view here:

Here you can see that I missed to delete items in my ContentManager where several items were stored in my pending HashMap.
