virt is short for virtual memory and that means swap space on the drive. If
you have lots of real memory then this # can get big like this and its no big
deal. Note the %MEM entry. this one is more important. also if %CPU gets
higher VIRT generally tend to get higher depending on what is being done as
using virtual memory takes much more processing power than physical (real)
memory.
If you really want to work on the memory use goto tools -> options ->
OpenOffice.org -> memory and pick smaller settings for the cache options.
