Why should java be a resource pig?

The task-manager ist soo stupid and does not report the real amount of memory taken, it also reports memory-mapped files and other virtual adress space.

Java-1.5 is more efficient and pre-packages classes in a file which is later on memory-mapped. This file is even shared between many JVMs if they run at the same time, but the Task-Manager just reports bogus stuff...
