On the subject of top another caveat is that top is hard-coded at compile
time 
about what it thinks the pagesize is.

If you compile kernels with bigger pagesizes (generally a 'good thing' for
large memory nodes) then 'top' gets the memory used by your programs wrong
by a factor of x2,x4 etc. !

Daniel.
