If you are on Solaris, you may be interested in NOTE: 153655.1 SOLARIS: Determing Oracle Memory Usage on Solaris.
CUT <<<<<<<< Many programs which display memory usage, like "top" or "ps -lf" do not distinguish between shared and private memory and show the SGA usage in each background and shadow process. Subsequently, it may appear as though Oracle is using several times more memory than what is actually installed on the system. To properly determine how much memory Oracle is using, you must use a tool which separates private and shared memory. One such tool is "/usr/proc/bin/pmap".
