Currently if you call
top()

get_memory_usage()
on a Solaris system which does not have 'top' installed, you get rubbish
like this:

For comparison, here is the code after the calls to 'top' replaced by calls to
'prstat'.

Note, the latter is running on my home computer, via my home network. The
machine only has a couple of 900 MHz processors and 2 GB RAM, so it is not quick.
I suspect the CPU resources for single-threaded applications is still better
than 't2' though.
Others are welcome to play on

but bear in mind it only has 2 GB RAM!! (Luckily I have much better SPARCs than
this one).
Shame we don't have a Sage benchmark
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6808
as I'd love to compare this 10 year old relic to 't2'!
