See all those mozilla-bin's which all have the same memory footprint?
These are threads, i.e. processes which share memory. 11 threads
with 12 MB each don't eat up 132 MB but 12 MB.
The numbers which 'ps' prints can be *very* misleading.
Take a look at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/1999-September/msg00036.html
which shed a bit light at those numbers.
