Here is the command I used:
/usr/java/bin/jmap -J-d64 -histo:live 5988 > histoXliveonly.2009-01-01.txt
then I wrote a shell script to sort,parse,cleanup,filter and then compare classes in before and after histo.txt files. It diffs classes and sorts them showing me only those classes whose counts have increased over time.
