Hi Adrian,

In any case, Guido's response of "its the number of pages!" explained the
base discrepancy. The unfortunate issue here is that "pagesize" can
be variable
and one would need to find the system/process' pagesize (and hope
its constant!)
to multiply that number by to get an accurate result.
As I know, the pagesize is usually related to the processor architecture.
On Windows is always 4096 bytes on x86 processor while on old Alpha
processor was 8192 bytes. I don't know what is the value for 64 bit
application running on x64 or Itanium Windows.
On Sparc Solaris it seems that a variable size at process level is
supported: http://blogs.sun.com/d/entry/using_large_dtlb_page_sizes
So, it's correct to expect different and sometimes unexpected values
from rusage().

Guido
