14 What column in htop shows that number?
15
16 top, htop, and all their friends do not display what most people assume
17 they display. Modern OSes (for more than a decade now) manage memory in
18 a way that makes it impossible to answer "how much memory is this app
19 using?"

21 If you are looking at the VIRT column, just ignore it, that column is
22 practically useless for most rational viewings of {h,}top
