1. What is the output of running this command?

       grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

   Does that value seem right?  Does that file make sense in general?

2. Copy this to a buffer somewhere, put point after the last
   parenthesis, and press `C-u C-x C-e':

        (pp (mapcar #'process-attributes
             (seq-take (list-system-processes) 5)))

    Please post the result back here.

    Could you also tell us which values in the resulting list are wrong
    (a.k.a. "different from top")?

Thanks in advance.
