GetMemInfo and GetProcInfo

Dear all,

    I am using the TSystem GetMemInfo and GetProcInfo methods to monitor the CPU memory usage during the execution of a macro. What I would expect to find is something of the order of hundreds of MB for the used memory (at least this is what I get using "top"), while what I get with, for example,

gSystem->GetMemInfo(&memInfo);
cout << " Mem Used = " << memInfo.fMemUsed << endl; //returning value in MB

is of the order of tens of GB. Probably I have not fully understood what these method return... Could anyone help me in using correctly these methods?

Thank you a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
