Heisenberg may have been here....

Another option is the command top, then press M for Memory sort
man top for lots of things - did you know z turns on colour support?

One way to find out is to open the GNOME System Monitor
        gnome-system-monitor
and sort the process listing by memory. In my case the main memory users are
      * Evolution (144MB, 35MB shared)
      * Evolution Data Server (99MB, 13MB shared)
      * Rhythmbox (92MB, 21MB shared)
      * Nautilus (79MB, 35MB shared)
      * Evolution Alarm Notify (69MB, 22MB shared)
      * Straw (41MB, 24MB shared)
