when I look at my application in a memory utility (like Memory Usage app), it shows my application using 33MB of memory.

If while debugging my app, I go into DDMS and look at the heap, it's taking 4MB.

So at this point, I'm wondering where the other 29MB is being chewed up by. Secondly, my concern is that I could wind up spending a huge amount of time trying to trim that 4MB to something much smaller like say 2-3MB, but that hardly seems like I'm putting a dent in the memory usage. So how do i get that memory usage down much more significantly?

those articles are great, but still - where is that 29MB? they only seem to talk about the 4MB...
according to the article, much of the memory is actually shared with other processes
