Hi,

don't believe everything that 'top' tells you. :)
'top' on Linux also lists threads as standalone processes, thus giving
the illusion of wasting lots of memory. If the entries show exactly
the same amount of memory, then you can often assume that they share
the same amount of memory.


Cheers,
Martin
