So, moral of the story: GC apps in 64-bit mode allocate themselves a tremendous amount of virtual memory, but unless they are actually *using* a lot of VM, then there is nothing to worry about. Did I get that right?


That is correct.

Address space consumption -- as indicated by VSIZE -- does not necessarily indicate a problem.

Unlike a 32 bit address space, a 64 bit address space affords the opportunity to carve up the address space for purposes beyond simple memory consumption.
