Just to clarify:

this is the amount of memory that is actually being used by the process.

this is the total amount of code+data that has been assigned to the
process, though not all of it is necessarily in use.
procexp's "virtual size" is simply a representation of the amount of
virutal memory that has been allocated to the process. Virtual memory
is not real memory and it only means that X number of pages have been
allocated, it says absolutely nothing about the actual memory used by
the process, and you should ignore it completely unless you have a
specific reason to need to know about it.
That may be but it does represent the "footprint" of the process or at
least the amount of memory + swap reserved (doesn't it?). As such I seek
to minimize such usage.
