Ok, here's is what I found. Both my 32-bit GNOME boxes show about |
| 6 |
70-80MB VIRT for gnome-panel. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
My x64 box shows 303MB. Moreover, top shows the following top memory |

epiphany 747MB 104MB |

pidgin 502MB 47MB |
| 15 |
evolution 597MB 43MB |
| 16 |
nautilus 483MB 41MB |
| 17 |
gnome-panel 303MB 32MB |

Total 2632MB 267MB |

However "free" shows only 643MB in total used (including buffers/cache) |
| 22 |
with no swap. According to the top man page VIRT = SWAP + RES, but |
| 23 |
obviously that doesn't add up. But the RES for gnome-panel is similar |
| 24 |
on both my 32- and 64-bit machines. So I'm guessing something on the |
| 25 |
64bit machines is getting reported/translated differently. |

Maybe someone smarter than me can comment on this. |
