A thread is also called a lightweight process.
•
Physical Memory Used — The amount of physical memory in kilobytes being used by
the specified process.
•
Virtual Memory Used — The amount of virtual memory in kilobytes being used by the
specified process, or the size of the process in real memory plus swap.
