Can you do the same test on a x86_64 server that isn't vps?

On my x86_64 laptop with my test cluster of a non-optimized build (after 
slon has been running for a bit) I see (with 2.0.4)

ssinger.local at ssinger:~/src/clustertest/clustertest$ ps auxf |grep bin/slon
994     15851  0.0  0.0   7336   868 pts/0    S+   08:54   0:00  |   \_ 
grep bin/slon
9994      7845  0.0  0.0  10700   144 pts/0    S    Jun09   0:00 
/usr/local/pgsql84/bin/slon -d4 disorder_replica dbname=test2 
host=localhost user=slony password=slony
9994      9023  0.0  0.0 196016  1452 pts/0    Sl   Jun09   0:03  \_ 
/usr/local/pgsql84/bin/slon -d4 disorder_replica dbname=test2 
host=localhost user=slony password=slony

x86_64 will tend to give a bit bigger memory footprint due to the larger 
pointer size.  I am wondering if the 4GB your seeing is somehow vps related.
