2.4.9 kernel (you mean Linux, I assume).
Both top's SIZE and RSS are about 35 meg - SHARE is about 14.4.
%MEM times physical memory roughly matches SIZE, as I would expect.
I don't know whether SHARE is a subset of SIZE, but even if it
isn't cmucl on Linux still seems to use much less memory than
on FreeBSD where the resident size grew to about 120 meg... I think
the allocated size on FreeBSD was vast but I understand that CMUCL
overallocates. Much of this is rather cryptic to me.
Like I said, this is all a pleasant surprise, rather than a problem
(except possibly for FreeBSD users).
