I mean, ok: I got used to it, that small daemons like the network-auto-magic manager can consume 86MB. Also, that small almost useless little Gnome-applets can consume hundreds of MB's (wnck-applet 104MB, clock-applet 80MB, mixer-applet2 91MB, trashapplet 87MB, gnome-panel 114MB, etc etc etc ...).
not wanting to defend this applet-mania :-) but you may be victim of mapped-in stuff being reported more than once although it in fact consumes memory only once (executable shared libs, eg).
'pmap -x' may help identify those pieces of memory. Michael -- Michael Schuster http://blogs.sun.com/recursion Recursion, n.: see 'Recursion' _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
