They are certainly newer than from CentOS 5, but are still reasonably

As others have suggested, lots of memory use is to be expected with the
size of the filesystem and the amount of memory you have.  Did you use
the -P switch as Dave suggested?  I have found it very helpful in
low-memory situations.
