   My LCIII (36 MB of RAM, running 2.1) has been about 100% busy with
building some of the "basics" since I did a CVS update of pkgsrc previous
Sunday. The kernel tasks have shown up to 35 MB (which made me worried :),
but then shrunk to 22 MB, and are currently showing 28 MB. So far, it at
least doesn't seem to run away wildly, but then it has only been up for a
week...
