Hi Daniel, The amount of memory used by an application is independent of the OS or compilation options. When the application needs some memory, it will use a malloc to ask for the amount needed.
Firefox was probably using some plugins. Also, when observing the memory used by an application, take into account that shared libraries are only loaded once, and shared between applications. You may see this amount of memory more than once in the default memory calculation done by the os.
