Title: Active sessions chewing up a huge amount of RAM
In many O/S the more SGA blocks the Oracle processes touch, the bigger amount of memory gets reported in use.
 
So it's not private memory it's usually the SGA memory.
 
You have to use a good tool to diagnose memory issues ( I think there is memtool for Solaris).

Subject: Active sessions chewing up a huge amount of RAM

I have a customer that is reporting that each of the connections our Weblogic appserver uses is using something on the order of 100+MB of RAM on the db server, ostentatiously the Snnn processes are frickin' HUGE. I've never seen that kind of issue, and not real comfortable vouching for the accuracy of this, but I gotta at least ask:

Is there some setting/confluence of circumstances where this is even remotely sensical?

Thanks... We're dealing with Oracle 8.1.6, Weblogic 5.1, running on NT 4.0.
