Not true. It's the VM that tends to be big... think of it as an OS
emulation layer *on top of* your current OS and you get a better idea as to
why so much RAM is used. Perfect example is a database tool I use.. I
bring it up standalone and NT say's it's using 11MB. I bring up the same
tool as part of *another* VM that's using 11MB also and only adds 200k to
the memory usage.
A similar example is VMWare.. it emulates a whole PC *within* the PC
(running Linux or NT). That gives the illusion of your little 200k program
using 128MB... ;)
