So, in short, don't worry too much about these numbers. It's almost all
frameworks and window backing store and there isn't much you can do about
it in your particular app. What you need to worry about is if these
numbers tend to rise over time as you use your application (i.e. you have
memory leaks). Any amounts over the startup numbers are usually
non-shared memory and thus have a much greater impact.
Thanks for the clarification Greg. As for memory leaks, absolutely! My app
in particular could be susceptible since it performs a function repeatedly,
based on a timer. I have been soak-testing it for a few days now and
monitoring it in Process Viewer (which is what prompted the memory
questions).
I am happy to report, so far, absolutely no memory leaks - more
attributable to Cocoa and Java than to any skill on my part I suspect.

PS: My thoughts are with the the men and women currently attempting to
deal with the terror that threatens our world. I hope they succeed. My
thoughts are also with the innocent men, women and children of Afghanistan.
For readers of this message around the world, it is my belief and the
belief of everyone of all races, creeds and cultures that I know, that
this activity is most certainly NOT toward the Afghan people - our
brothers and sisters of this global village.
PPS: My apologies for using this list for such purposes.
