This page shows all running processes, ranked by memory used. For each process the PID, owner, size in kB and command are displayed. Click on the PID to display more information about a running process.

This view can be useful for finding which commands are using excessive amounts of memory on your system. However, memory use can be misleadingly high for processes like the X server which may include mapped frame buffers in their memory utilization. Multiple instances of the same process (such as `httpd` or `bash`) share much of their memory, making their total utilization appear higher than it really is.
