Found "Unused physical memory".

34 KB of C source plus Allegro headers large enough?

Anyway, I tried it (through make), and it dipped about 3 or 4 MB and
rose back.  The "allocated" chart had a 4 MB high peak also.

Not necessarily.  It tracks the total allocated memory at any given
moment.  For example, when I close Outlook Express, it decreases by
30 MB.

And shrinks.  I also have "swapfile size" open, and it seems to track
"allocated memory" pretty closely (lagging a bit but catching up when
Windows compacts the swap file a minute later).
