*nod* & as reporter said, the 47.7 in %MEM -> ~1GB, matching RES.

Here's the reply:
| Well, ya know. Thats the thing, this thing just appeared after installing pcp.
| By default it looks like it has no config and no logs that I can see
| I guess if it's using alot of CPU then it's used that amount of time.
| Current uptime is only 52 days.
| Have made it go away by stopping it and preventing it from starting.
So, sounds like no modification to the default setup, just switched it
on by installing the pcp-manager package (different daemon start policy
on deb vs rpm - enabled by default once installed).
cheers.
