Yes one thing you can do is to run top and tell us the VIRT, RES and SHR values that are reported. On my system, $HOME/OpenOffice.1.1.4/program/soffice.bin is just under 400Kb and I would expect memory usage to be similar. For example I get: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3372 gerry 16 0 292m 155m 51m S 2.3 20.5 35:45.60 soffice.bin and that looks reasonable to me. -- PATH tech -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.
