Software updater has unusually high memory use... #8

Kon's scripts report that the memory used by the software updater is unusually high on most systems (almost always 20-22MB). We need to figure out what is happening.

Author: justinc I've dug into this (with help from Eric). It seems that the size estimate from ps o size is highly variable. When looking at the RSS, a more accurate measure for systems that don't page virtual memory to disk, it is much lower and doesn't fluctuate as much. I've committed this in r2540.
