nope. it includes physical memory usage.

So, this is no indicator of the crappyness of a program.
memory usage is not a measure of the "crappiness" of any program to begin with. some programs just need a lot. take photoshop, for instance.. but programs can be built to still run smoothly even if they use up that much memory - like photoshop, for instance.
but i am curious as to what itunes is doing with all that memory, when it hasn't even gotten past the end user license agreement?
