I was about to point out that you were talking about *Linux*, in this 
case Fedora Core 3 distribution, and everyone (apparently) undestood 
that you were using *Windows* and that the problem showed in Windows... 
I don't know if you could try and run a dedicated session of FC, just to 
make sure the results are consistent with what you get in VPC... 
Personally I've run into >400Mb memory foot print of Java *only* with 
Azureus (a famous Java Torrent client), other applications, such as 
LimeWire while DO populate the RAM get about 3/4 of that... However 
*any* Java applet run through Firefox or Konqueror will *at the very 
least* load 80Mb into memory, this after a fresh boot with a base memory 
usage of about 98 Mb (measured with GkrellM)... I'll try to post in 
general Linux forums about this in other distributions specificially 
with Sun's JVM.
