The SIZE column is useless.  I forget the details why, but it often
confuses the "uniniated".  The RSS is the how much heap the process
really has.  The %MEM shows how much of your real memory (not swap)
the process is using.


Can anybody else shed some light on the difference between SIZE and RSS?


Thanx,
