I compiled and executed a small program and it's eating about 336 of
real memory (rss) and 840 of virtual size memory (vsz), may some one
explain why a simple program eats about 1 MB of memory?

How big is the sleep function ?

The source code is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(void)
{
        sleep(300);
}
