Admins,

        I have a question about my kernel idle process. When I do a ps aux
| grep idle I get the following

        USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY S STARTED
TIME COMMAND
      root 0 7.0 3.4 81.5G 2.2G ?? R < Jan 15
3-22:02:23 [kernel idle]

        The RSS seems high at 2.2G. This is running on a GS160 with 16
processor and 64 GB of memory running 5.1. I check a GS140 system running
5.1 and the RSS was only 682M. Can anyone shed some more light on this? I
will summarize.

TIA,
