Ah, but remember that what you will get then is roughly the all-time
high, at least on Solaris.

On Solaris, you will never see the Erlang emulator shrink, and the
reported memory consumption will most likely reflect how much was needed
during some transient work.

Here's one way to get a feeling for how much memory is actually being
used:
