The Virtual size is, by no means, the actual size the is being use by your program. It refers to the size the program "thinks" is available for it. To know what is actually being used you have to look at the resident size, which will show how much of the RAM the program is using. Dunno how you can see how many swap a given program is using. Hope this helps. Cheers _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
