Hi Angela,
The VSIZE is the virtual size of the application, that is, how much
memory address space this application has access to. This is a very
misleading number if you don't understand exactly what it is,
because it includes all shared memory.
I thought it might have been something like that, but I was (and am)
confused by the fact that the 'VM' displayed in top seems to decrease
by the VSIZE of an app when that app is quit. That indicates to me
that the memory is actually duplicated... why would the VM
measurement be counting the same memory several times?
Thanks for the help though... I think I will make my app a proper
AppKit app since it won't harm anything. Then if I want to give it a
dock menu later on I can.
