"As reported (by the OS) in use by a process..." Certainly you are right. But I do not look at that, as it does not ring the bell. Instead, I link-in a simple heap space reporter library between the application and any malloc/free/new/delete etc operation (hacked it myself, if you are interested, I will send it to you). So I rather monitor what memory the application claims (and releases) instead of what memory the OS actually provides.
