Which window manager(s) do you have installed? There may or may not be a
similar tool (showing the various running processes with their CPU and
memory
use) in the same package. If there isn't, you may try to use "top", a
console
tool, but it is less precise (IIUC, it shows memory use as %, not as
KBytes)
and you would have to sort its output to make sure that your Vim
processes are
not pushed off the bottom of the display (I guess sorting either A to
Z or Z
to A by command name might do it). (Once it's running, hit h for help.
Most
commands are single-letter and case-sensitive.)

I have windowmaker installed. I am honestly a little surprised that I
can't get top to do this accurately. Isn't there any general purpose
unix command that can do this?

I don't know; the problem is finding it. You may try starting top anyway, and
see if its VIRT, RES and SHR columns are what you want; or you may try fishing
after something more suitable using the "apropos" utility (I'll let you guess
which keywords to use).
Best regards,
Tony.
