[Mailman-Users] Optimizations

[Tierra]

I'm pretty new to mailman (and was pretty lucky to get it working with
qmail, let me just say the user notes from qmail users came in VERY
handy), and I just wanted to know if there's someway I can cut back on
processes. Mailman seems to be eating up a lot more memory than really
needed. Is this just a drawback of running through Python?

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
22537 mailman    9   0  6544 6056 4732 S  0.0 10.2   0:01.86 python

Yes, that is 10% of mem on the first listed process, and yes, I'm
tight on ram right now.
