I wonder if anyone could explain to me the reason why X + Nvidia drivers reports such high memory usage: /proc/<pid>/stat w/ nvidia module: Name: X VmSize: 209152 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 24636 kB VmData: 18632 kB VmStk: 776 kB VmExe: 1340 kB VmLib: 1364 kB /proc/<pid>/stat w/ nv module: Name: X VmSize: 65252 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 12932 kB VmData: 9900 kB VmStk: 776 kB VmExe: 1340 kB VmLib: 1364 kB Does X really need 200 MB? I suspect that the memory usage is just incorrectly reported, since the total memory usage reported by the 'free' command would not seem to include such a huge chunk.
