If this is always the case, it's just up to you to interpret the "ps" output properly. If there was a case that an instance of a thread for a process would be reported as using a DIFFERENT amount of RAM, then you might be somewhat concerned. If the thread implementation on Linux is changed in the future, then the "ps" output might be different. In other words, I think "top" and "ps" wouldn't "lie" about resource usage. The display of the resource usage is just different than what you are used to seeing. Keep in mind, Windows NT and later was designed as multi-threaded OSes from day one and threads on Unix were added later on...... Peace.....
