Others are experiencing this issue with Activity Monitor in general, so it looks like Growl is not the culprit.
It's not Activity Monitor, either. As I mentioned up-thread and in the FAQ, it's the garbage collector that some apps (GrowlMenu being one) use. The GC reserves at least 8 GiB's worth of address space to make sure that space is contiguous, but it does not actually allocate any memory in that space.
The GC is part of the operating system, although not all apps use it (it's optional). And from Bill Bumgarner's statement on that one Apple developer mailing list, this is not a bug, just a startling-but- harmless aspect of the design.
