Memory usage can be measured different ways. What we see here is the

Yes, and neither comes close to 30Mb you cited. Of course what
were you using to report the size? I didn't see a ps output in yours,
just your word.
OK, more details:
%CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
5.0 0.9 34068 19568 pts/4 S 17:59 0:01 local/bin/emacs
1.2 0.5 37628 10944 ? Ss 17:58 0:00 /usr/bin/vim.gtk -g
In the resident memory size there is bigger difference.
/usr/bin/vim.gtk is from vim-gtk package (1:7.1.314-3+lenny2) and
local/bin/emacs is the current development version of Emacs which I
compiled today from Emacs Git repository. It's compiled with GTK toolkit
and pretty much with all features I think.
just don't misrepresent verifiable facts.
In this context what do you mean by misrepresenting verifiable facts? I
wrote "34 MB" and "37 MB" in my original mail. Your message has a
slightly aggressive tone which I don't understand.

You were a bit ambiguous, saying both "GVim ... takes 37 MB" and
"start ... Vim ... in a text terminal mode the numbers are ... 30 MB
for Vim".
That *appears* to mean that plain old text-mode vim needs 30MB.
