Hi.  I'm running the Blackdown 1.2preV2 java on Linux 2.2.12.

I've found that I have to use the -mx option to run with 128Mb or
so in my application.  I'm always curious as to how much memory
it's "really" using, and I've found that 'top' will report this
pretty well - at least I think so.  Memory increases slowly; I
get the application to run gc() and it drops, etc.  Top's report
seems faithful to what I know the application is doing.

However a 'ps -l' listing always shows the same amount of memory
in use, typically the 128Mb plus a bit more (for code, bss and
stuff, I guess).  So I'm assuming that java grabs all 128Mb worth
at the start, and ps shows that; so what does 'top' report in
what seems to be a more realistic portrayl of what Java is
actually 'using'?

Just curious,
