All programs that use cygwin1.dll report very high virtual memory usage. For example, bash from standard package report usage of ~420MB. Is it how it should be?

Hard to say without more information. Please see the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>. FWIW, I don't observe this on my machine (WinXP) -- all my bashes show around
2MB of virtual memory in the TaskManager.

Look at screenshot: http://home.shad.pp.ru/tmp/cygwin.png

Still cannot reproduce (my Process Explorer shows the same numbers as the TaskManager). Which version of Process Explorer are you using? It could also be a SysInternals bug, as Andrew suggested...

I like Process Explorer. In fact I use it instead of Task Manager. But there are 2 things about Process Explorer that I don't like. One is this wrong reporting of virtual memory and the other is the fact that Process Explorer does not have a nice little graph of Network usage nor number of users logged in (in the case of XP for example).


I sure wish that SysInternals would fix this but I'm not knowledgeable enough to confront them intelligently.
