I ran code from a package starting julia with `julia --track-allocations=user`. This created a bunch of `.mem` files in the package directory tree.

Is there a convenient way to quickly locate the lines that are allocating the most? Or any suggestions whatsoever to explore this tree?

You can use coverage.jl (a package).  
I commonly move all mem files in a folder an run

using Coverage  
result=analyze\_malloc(ThatFolderWithMemFiles)

This works quite well and you can easily sort by allocation. There might be a better way to do that (just read the readme of the coverage pkg).  
Sorry that I cannot find the backtick on my phone to quote code.
