Default ending a process frees up more ram than the process was taking?

That's a ~890,000 K difference - not ~685,000 K.

My question is... why the difference? Why does ending this process
free more RAM than the process was taking up? Is this what's known
as a memory leak?


Why do you think that said process had no child processes that ended when it
did?
