The question is in the title.

Is it because the servers attach lots of stuff to the program before measuring?
If so why don't just subtract the size of the included files so that we get the real memory usage.

There is no way that a program that takes up about 10kB of space and has one function and one integer would take up 2.5 MB of memory.

The memory usage is standard memory usage under linux system and it varies depending on language of submission.

I know this was answered, but I'm not understanding the answer. Do the listings include memory used by the C shared library? If so, you can definitely fix this by asking the OS about memory use in a different way....
