Run `smem -k` for human-friendly units. To see specifically gnome-shell or firefox: smem -P gnome-shell$ -k smem -P firefox$ -k Look at the USS and PSS values.... USS is, roughly, memory which wouldn't be used if just that process weren't running. PSS divides shared memory among processes using it. FWIW, on my F23 system right now, up for six days, I get this for gnome-shell: PID User Command Swap USS PSS RSS 1947 mattdm /usr/bin/gnome-shell 0 164.1M 177.4M 219.8M -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
