[Zope] Zope Eating Memory for Breakfast

[Hung Jung Lu]

Hi Bill,

Here is the report from my camp. I use "top", which is not
the same "top" that you use. In fact, our "top" here DOES
calculate memory usage and the first few lines are IDENTICAL
to the results given by "free".

Could you post a feedback on your interpretation of this
information?
