[SLUG] more precise measurements

Is there a way to get more precise information about how much RAM/swap a
process uses? For instance, this line from top:

   PID USER NI VIRT RES SHR WCHAN S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
19252 eben 0 1097m 529m 19m - S 15 13.4 409:18 firefox

that shows the important data (VIRTual, RESident, and SHaRed) has 2-4 digit
resolution. 4's good, 2's not. Straight page count would be best, of
course. Never mind the width; this isn't for (direct) human consumption
anyway.

The mnky gibbering and screeching used to keep me up at night, although
in the lst week or so it's prtty mch tailed off to nthng. The smell has
gttn noticbly worse in the last cple of days, too.  The next time I get
a barrl full of mnkys, I'm going to try taking the lid off. -groo, AFCA
