Looks like you're running linux. Remember that linux shows threads as
processes, so if you're adding all those memory totals together, you're
getting a figure that's five times as large as the real memory usage on
this machine.

For a caching server in use in a corporate environment, that's not all
that much memory usage. How much ram is in the machine?
