Application memory sizes

  • Subject: Application memory sizes
  • From: Simon Wright <email@hidden>

When I look at the Mail app in ProcessViewer, under statistics I see...

Virtual: 83,380 kbytes
Resident: 16,056 kbytes

When I look at my Cocoa based app I see...

Virtual: 254,392 kbytes
Resident: 12,768 kbytes

I consider my app to be a _very_ modest one and I am puzzled by these numbers. Does the Resident number really mean that my app is taking 12 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?
