I _believe_ that the RSS column is what you want to be looking at for the
actual amount of memory that the application is taking up. From the Solaris
man page for ps...
-y Under a long listing (-l), omit the obsolete F and
ADDR columns and include an RSS column to report
the resident set size of the process. Under the -y
option, both RSS and SZ (see below) will be
reported in units of kilobytes instead of pages.
(...)
SZ (l) The total size of the process in virtual memory,
including all mapped files and devices, in pages.
See pagesize(1).
I assume SIZE is == to SZ.
If you use top...I think it is the "RES" column that you should look at...
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm no expert on Unix memory management.
