OK, more details:

%CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
 5.0  0.9  34068 19568 pts/4    S    17:59   0:01 local/bin/emacs
 1.2  0.5  37628 10944 ?        Ss   17:58   0:00 /usr/bin/vim.gtk -g

In the resident memory size there is bigger difference.

/usr/bin/vim.gtk is from vim-gtk package (1:7.1.314-3+lenny2) and
local/bin/emacs is the current development version of Emacs which I
compiled today from Emacs Git repository. It's compiled with GTK toolkit
and pretty much with all features I think.

In this context what do you mean by misrepresenting verifiable facts? I
wrote "34 MB" and "37 MB" in my original mail. Your message has a
slightly aggressive tone which I don't understand.
