I consider my app to be a _very_ modest one and I am puzzled by these

Megabytes? The percentage memory shown in the Process Listing seems to
bear this out. What's more puzzling is the Virtual number - what could
possibly cause my app to show 254 Megabytes here? Is there some PB
setting that I've overlooked?
The shared memory is mostly frameworks and things that are loaded once
and shared across the entire system of applications. Cocoa depends on
lots of other frameworks which all have to be loaded. 12MB sounds
roughly OK, expecially when you consider that all your windows are
double-buffered and probably use exorbitant amounts of RAM :-)
