Determining true memory usage on Tru64

I am looking for a true way of measuring memory usage. It does not
appear that ps is giving us an accurate picture. For example:

program malloc's 2 meg of ram - ps shows 2+ meg in use. Program frees
2 meg of ram, ps still shows 2 meg in use.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
