Memory utilization issue
I have parallels container running on Suse. From top command, I am not able to see, what is eating up so big amount of memory.

You can use 'ps -le' and sort on the SZ column to see big VM procs. Sort is now built in. You may have to specify the columns (-o) to see rss which is ram used, and sort on that. Sorts are now built into newer ps versions.
Code:
$ ps -le|(line;sort -nr +9 -10)|head
