Hm, I just noticed Mem is in %. =A0% of what? =A0% total or % used? =A0Even= if
it was % of total RAM that could be as much as 152Mb for evo and 76Mb
for firefox. =A0Not that much really.

Divide VIRT= by its percentage, then divide RES by its percentage, when the numbers mat= ch you know which one it is.

So it looks like its RES to me by just= looking at it. Did you RTFMan page?
