Well, I have a vague idea, but I guess this is more for
-questions, really. On one other FreeBSD box I logged into
recently, in top I saw a process that was eating up 256Mb in
"size", but with only a few hundred Kb in "res". Since the box
has 16Mb ram + 64Mb swap I don't see how it could ever get those
256Mb, but there it was, grinning at me from ... the top.
I guess that although Java apps under the Blackdown JDK say they
need 80Mb, but don't really use that much under normal
circumstances. I just hope I won't code any abnormal
circumstance :)
