You know, Linux always lists > threads as separate processes in the ps listing. Then it probably doesn't. That Linux lists threads like processes would explain it, kind of. What still bothers me a little though is that if I start the application under Windows 2000, in the Task-Manager I see exactly one instance consuming 32 MB of RAM, whereas top under Linux shows 5, consuming 32 MB each, or so it seems. Would top give false information here about RAM consumption?
