I don't think the amount of memory listed under "System" indicates the
size of the System Heap. I think that number in the total of the memory
that isn't otherwise accounted for. (For example, any INIT that uses
memory above BufPtr will contribute to the System total.)
The RAM cache is proably the #1 cause of unexpected memory usage. One
should also check to see if a debugger is installed. Macsbug, for
example, takes a fari amount of memory (50-60K I think), which can make
the difference in some cases.
