It starts at around 2MB, goes upto about 8MB within an hour or so, then 
sits at around 11MB thereafter.  I haven't really put it to any use other 
than one incoming feed (ie. there's no nnrp clients yet) due to the 
performance problems.  As for swap though it sits quite low.  The ram 
will go from (24MB current) to 64MB after this issue is resolved.  The 
only time I see any real performance is in the first minute before any 
incoming feeds start.  

Suggestions?
