Actually I think both numbers are incorrect – or is top able to count  
exactly the used functions from some open and shared library? GNU  
Emacs 22.0.91's private memory use is around 24 MB, 48 MB is virtual  
memory, 8 MB are shared with other processes (shell?), and almost 30  
MB are physical RAM.

Making any Emacs use GTK makes it a memory hog: ¼ GB seems possible ...


I already receive enough spam – nevertheless, Eli, could you make  
your eMail client hide eMail addresses?
