If it does, then what I see in top(1) makes sense: 19473 mailman 54 0 27748K 26564K CPU0 0 1:32 98.47% 98.29% perl 19474 pgsql 2 0 23864K 21884K sbwait 0 0:12 0.00% 0.00% postgres If not, then I'm at a bit of a loss as to why the perl process, which is effectively a low-memory loop on row-by-row fetch from the database, would "take up" so much memory.
