On a somewhat related note, the rhn-applet uses more than 30MB of virtual memory. That is just WAY too big. Also look at its CPU time after a few days running. The combined time of it doing *something* seems a bit too much IMHO.
Ick, 30MB and 16MB resident for the rhn-applet? I took a quick look at the rhn-applet-gui on RHEL3 and FC2-test 3. The applet has definitely gotten bloated. The RHN people just sit around the corner from me I might point this out to them. -Will

This applet is pulling in lots of libraries. Just counting the number of memory maps, no consideration about the amount of space for each map:
RHEL 3
