I do encounter a problem however.. When comparing the python script to the values given by gnome-system-monitor, the results I get are off by about 60 Mb, with gnome-system-monitor giving me a higher memory usage in the order of 20%. This is huge! Would anybody know where this is coming from?
Kind regards.
