Sorry to say that but those numbers don't help at all. All you're seeing
there is that $someapp uses a certain amount of memory. Where that
memory is used and wether it could possibly be reduced needs a bit more
work, in particular profiling the app(s) in question. So run the worst
memory hogs with valgrind --tool=massif and post the results on the
relevant developer lists.
