(Sorry, replying to old mail here...)
Urm, if you look more closely at the top output (I presume you used
top), you'll see that nearly all the memory used by applets is shared.
If you don't understand, or are misinterpretting the output of top,
please see http://www.tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk/tips.html
There is a section somewhere near the bottom about how to work out
*actual* memory usage from the output of app such as top.
Tom.
