CPU, Physical IO, & Memory Usage

I was wondering about what the values in Management->Current
Activity->Process Info represent. Are the values for CPU, Physical IO, &
Memory Usage cumulative or do they represent a max or a current value?
The reason I'm wondering is that I saw a large value for Memory Usage by a
process recently. The value was in the millions. Most other processes had
values < 100 and some went up to 4000 or so.
Should I be worrying about such a large value for any of these parameters?
Thanks

MGThey are cumulative values from the time the user logged on. For the most
part they are pretty useless.
