I am monitoring my process using the top program. I started vim on a file with 55 lines and 939 character.
Top reports the vim using 6008K of the res column and 2944K of the size column. My questions is (based on the fact that res means resident set size and size means data+stack+text of the process): How may a process uses more page of memory than the amount necessary for the sum of its data, stack and text segments ? Thanks for clarifications.
