None of the views you mentioned provides that information as far as I can see. For you reference, look at the "Dependencies" toggle in Gnome's system monitor's View menu. Sort by memory usage and enable that option, and you'll see some memory heavy process hidden way down the list under "gnome-session" or some other process (bash, eclipse's launcher, etc.) I very welcomed the latest release of System Monitor, where that option was introduced, and I'll gladly see it introduced to Baobab.
