those are threads, so they share the memory (i.e.  you shouldn't add
them together).  in this case fossil appears "hungry" because it uses
most of the memory it occupies for cache, selected by the -c option to
open in its config.

attached is a hastily put together script that gives you the memory
used on your computer in readable form.
