Why do apps use so much memory? According to my Activity Monitor, the Calculator DashboardClient is using 6.45 MB of real memory and 338.36 MB of virtual memory. Why does a calculator program need all that memory?
It seems that as memory sizes are growing, even simple little programs are becoming bigger and bigger memory hogs.
