When it startes up, it reserves around 1.8GB of virtual memory (40MB real memory), and I don't know why. Thanks! I used vmmap, it claims ~600MB should be used by my process. Activity Monitor instead shows 1220MB virtual memory usage, twice as much. Who is right? Am I doing something wrong? By the way, what is IOKit with 281MB and STACK GUARD with 56MB?
