It's the output of "top", and yes, I see the problem too. The "size" 
column is always around 400 (+/-) MB, however large or small the process.

The RSS size is correct - it matches the resident set size in the 
Windows task manager process display. It's only the "size" (== "VM size" 
in task manager?) that seems to be off.

E.g.

  10:25:33 up 2 days,  1:18,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
3 processes: 2 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   5.8% user,   7.4% system,   0.0% nice,  86.9% idle
