You are right.

With `top`: and no other QT application running, I get:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
no document:
 2982 milde     20   0 53336  19m  13m S  0.0  7.9   0:02.74 lyx
de/UserGuide.lyx:
 2982 milde     20   0 58412  25m  14m R  0.0 10.3   0:05.74 lyx
second document:
 2982 milde     20   0 59968  27m  14m S  0.7 10.9   0:07.34 lyx

I cannot reproduce the 8M so I am not sure whether this was just taken from
the wrong line or the reporting command splitting the QT ressources between
all running QT apps or what.

Thanks for correcting.
