Well, but how do you explain that:
mschiff@moe:~$ bash
mschiff@moe:~$ ps u $$
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
mschiff 14156 5.2 0.1 8836 3692 pts/1 S 23:28 0:00 bash
mschiff@moe:~$ time echo {0..1000000}>/dev/null
real 0m2.307s
user 0m2.084s
sys 0m0.196s
mschiff@moe:~$ ps u $$
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
mschiff 14156 13.2 6.2 196272 191036 pts/1 S 23:28 0:02 bash
mschiff@moe:~$
