Yes.  It's not actually using this memory; it just mapped 257 Mbytes
of memory into its address space so it wouldn't have to worry about
expanding its allocations if/when it comes under high load.  This
makes some sense for heavily-loaded NFS servers, but it doesn't hurt
anything on the lightly-loaded ones, so I wouldn't worry about it.
