Here's mine:
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND
1273 root 1 44 0 312M 274M select 1 4:20 0.00% Xorg
But it doesn't actually use that much RAM, because the
process contains multiple mappings of the frame buffer
and other device memory. According to procstat(1) and
a bit of awk (*), the device mappings are 290 MB, so
only 22 MB are left, which isn't really that huge (this
box has 4 GB RAM).
Best regards
Oliver
