Probably you meant to write "M", not "k" or "K"?

I've never managed to make much sense of the displays in Windows' Task Manager, 
if that's what you're using, but I think the mem usage it's displaying by 
default is the process' working set, or something very similar to that measure.

You can display additional columns in Task Manager, and one useful one is how 
much virtual memory is allocated,.

And perhaps then (if that's not what you're looking it already) it'll be closer 
to 2 GiB?
