Please make sure you measure your memory usage correctly on Linux, it is
notoriously easy to get misleading info from tools like top.

I use this one on Linux.

$cat ~/bin/showmemusage
#!/bin/sh
if test -z "$1"; then
echo "need a pid"
exit
fi

mem=`echo 0 $(cat /proc/$1/smaps | grep Pss | awk '{print $2}' | \
sed 's#^#+#' ) | bc`
echo "$mem KB"
