StarOffice -- memory usage



Hi folks

Ok, this has gone beyond my knowledge of memory.

I wondered how much memory StarOffice 5.1 took -- and it appears to need
quite a bit, based on this display from top:

  2:10am  up 3 days,  3:12,  6 users,  load average: 1.56, 1.64, 1.83
71 processes: 67 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.5% user,  1.1% system, 98.2% nice,  0.0% idle
Mem:  127888K av, 125612K used,   2276K free,  74260K shrd,  11360K buff
Swap: 130748K av,     76K used, 130672K free                 65440K cached

I realize that 26 megs of each process is shared among all of them -- but
that should mean... 26+14*11 megs are in use by StarOffice -- right? That
works out to 180 megs (roughly) -- and this machine has 128. 76k of swap are
in use. 

Any explanations? :)

Thanks
