Usage of virtual address space is not the same as usage of physical
pages. A process using up 100+ MB of virtual memory isn't actually a
problem. For comparison, on my machine, a bit of mental arithmetic shows
that the top few processes shown by System Monitor have over 8 GB of
memory mapped, whereas the real usage is around 1.4GB.
If you are trying to measure the physical memory usage of processes, you
should use the "Resident Memory" column instead, as far as I can tell.
