Running update-manager and after installing something, running top yields this:

VIRT=190m RES=67m SHR=21m.

This seems as if update-manger itself is only using 21MiB. I have been measuring memory usage with system-monitor in the past, which isn't good for this as it doesn't display the memory usage of the application, but the usage of it and all the libaries it needs to run (AFAIK).

All together, 67MiB seems quite high for total usage, is this due to Python?

It also seems as if the bug which causes the memory usage to increase a lot after packages are installed is gone.
