     12Now, about 24 hours later, the memory usage has increased to about 24MB / 22MB, which is slightly below 1MB per hour. I don't yet know whether it depends on what I do in the VM, or if I have to leave the RDP session open at all. As it is the VBoxService.exe and not VBoxTry.exe, I think it should not be related to user activity.

     14According to the help files, the meaning of the two sizes is resident memory and allocated virtual memory. This is consistent with the observation that the value for allocated virtual memory tends to go up, while the resident memory is eventually constrained by the available real memory. Why and how resident memory can be more than the allocated virtual memory is a mystery. Maybe the size of the executable is not included in the allocated memory, but in the resident memory.
