Memory usage
I am testing a beta version of a cocoa application. It appears to me that this app has a major memory leak, or uses memory improperly. Before opening the app, everything is fine and smooth. Upon opening the app, it is slow, and even worse my other already open apps are affected by becoming almost unresponsive. As soon as the beta app is closed or force quit, my other apps return to normal.
When I run TOP in terminal, the beta app shows tHe following:
PID-300
%CPU-0
TIME-1:58
#TH-4
#PRTS-110
#MREGS-354
RPRVT-259M
RSHD-9.64
RSIZE-140M
VSIZE-488M
Help me out developers. Do you see anything alarming?

Comments
Did it launch another process that is hogging the CPU? Anything else in the output of top that explains the slowdown?
The Dev Tools have utilities to find memory leaks, but the learning curve is a bit steep.
