huge memory usage discrepancy between localhost and actual host

[eluser]jbawarren[/eluser]
I have been troubleshooting a performance issue on my hosted server, and while I havent seemed to solve the problem, I did find a huge memory usage descrepancy between my localhost and actual host.

My memory usage locally is: 676,428 bytes
And on my server is: 2,265,732 bytes

That's a huge difference!

Is it common for there to be such a huge difference?

Thanks,
