(just to keep track of how much idle time has been "wasted". I suspect cp_time[CP_IDLE] could tell me the same thing, but not via ps or top). I guess I wasn't entirely surprised that when linked the binary was 4k. text data bss dec hex 4096 0 0 4096 1000 What I don't understand is why VSZ is 132k and RSS is 20k. UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 134 2443 1 333 74 20 132 20 - RN v1- 5502:24.27 idle It is run as 'idprio 31 nice -20 idle'. What am I missing?
