More over, the memory usage reported by process explorer is subject to the vagrancies of the windows memory allocator. Generally the memory usage you see reported in tools is quite a bit higher than the actual memory usage of your application. First off windows manages memory in fixed size chunks so if you ask for X bytes of memory, windows allocates n contiguous chunks such that n*chunk_size >= x. However windows just reports ~ # of allocated chunks * chunk_size as your memory usage (if you use the right api). More over most applications simply report the total size of an application's "working set" which includes lots of pages of memory that are potentially shared across many applications.
