Hi
  

 
 I just found out that on FC3 Borland C++Builder takes more than 400mb
memory! While on Windows, it only takes a little more than 60mb.This is
making me believe that System Monitor is having a bug about calculating
memory size...
    

fedora does not ship borland c++. if borland generated bloated code on
fedora, how is that a fedora problem?


  

It's C++BuilderX, which uses Java to drive its graphical IDE. It's the Java thing that takes up more than 400mb memory.

Can anyone have C++BuilderX installed on FC3 confirm that they also have the same result?

The JavaVM for Linux is less than perfect and in fact pretty much (in your terms) suck when compared to the Windows counterpart... Using Java programs in Linux is too expensive (in my experience) in terms of memory and CPU resources... My suggestion... Don't use them. Or if you must, you know what are the trade offs of using them.
