    Hi,
    I am trying to see whether a process has mem leak or not. I am suing
    top utility program to do so. After the program is done with load test,

    I cannot see that the program size is not graduately dropping as I
    expect. I understand that it may take sometime before OS gets back the
    heap memory, but is it a good way to monitor mem leak through top?
    thanks.
