There are several variables. For instance, the scrollback size affects the RSS. To see the effect, I started "aterm -sl 24", "xterm -sl 24". This is what I saw (for just those two processes, of course): F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 1001 6494 6493 15 0 9744 3040 - S+ pts/1 0:00 aterm -sl 24 0 1001 6516 6515 15 0 5788 2852 - S+ pts/1 0:00 xterm -sl 24 -- Thomas E.
