AGP adds another 256MB, that's where those numbers are coming from.

that means unshared segments, which would be a good starting point. however
the runtime linker takes up much of those memory. In addition all those
numbers are just the "address space" that is reserved for this process. That
doesn't equal to the same amount of physical RAM. 

Exact size can't be measured afaik as long as you don't use tools like
purify or similar. I havn't done that yet because I didn't find any tool
that works for multithreaded apps.
