Gmemusage  is  modelled  after the program of the same name on Silicon Graphics' workstations.  Gmemusage
       graphically displays the contents of memory on a running system, broken up by individual  processes.  The
       display  is a stacked bar graph with the height of an area representing the RSS size of the corresponding
       process. In addition, the process name, number of processes with that name and the  size  (in  kilobytes)
       are shown.

       Processes which take up less memory than a (user-specifiable) threshhold are merged into a single area on
       the graph. Multiple processes with the same name are merged into a single area.

       While running, gmemusage accepts the following keys:

       Q or q
            Exit the program.

       Up Arrow
            Increase the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.

       Down Arrow
            Decrease the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.

       Other keys are (not-so-silently!) ignored.
