Is that by resident memory size or total size ? (I admit I always turn it
off anyway becsuse when its doing the flashing thing its

	a) annoying 
	b) uses about 5% CPU

if you have several boxes running X sessions off one box you can suddenely
find every update causes you to lose 40% of your cpu to rhn-applet!)

If the resident size is low it may indicate that it mmaps files and uses
bits of them
