Folks, doing a "top" recently I noticed the following:

27 processes:  26 sleeping, 1 on processor

Notice that a) there are four nfsds running and they as well as inetd and
cron each have 4096M of memory (very little of which they are using)  Is
this normal?  Not that "top" lists avail memory as 1460k.  This is on a
Quadra 650 (040) with 40 megs of ram...

Thanks,
Brendan
