From man top:
SIZE Total size of the process in kilobytes.
This includes text, data, and stack.

RES Resident size of the process in kilobytes.
The resident size information is, at best, an approximate value.

Hope this helps,
Pete

SIZE Total size of the process in kilobytes.
This includes text, data, and stack.

RES Resident size of the process in kilobytes.
The resident size information is, at best,
an approximate value.

So RES Means approx how much memory it is actually using even though the program my be a lot larger in size and grow.

Hi,

man top says :

SIZE Total virtual size of the process in kilobytes. This includes virtual sizes of text, data, stack, mmap regions, shared memory regions and IO mapped regions. This may also include virtual memory regions shared with other processes.

RES Resident size of the process in kilobytes. It includes the sizes of all private
regions in the process. The resident size information is, at best, an approximate value.

Jay,
Here is the difference:
SIZE Total size of the process in kilobytes.
This includes text, data, and stack.
RES Resident size of the process in kilobytes.
The resident size information is, at best,
an approximate value.
