Is that counting swapped bytes, or only resident bytes? If only resident
bytes, someone might report a lower figure yet be using more memory in
total because some bytes have been swapped to disk.

How is this reported in Linux? Perhaps there are two processes using 3MB
each. Or maybe there are two threads using 3MB in total? Or two
processes using 3MB each including shared data for a total usage that is
less than 6MB? How do you find this out?
