I looked at those results and then compared it to my local configuration of 
maradns as a recursive server supporting a single machine.  According to KDE 
System Guard, mara is only taking 34 Meg of virtual memory and is noticeably 
less heavy on my systems than bind.

Yes, I realize this may be comparing apples and oranges, but thought I would 
share the data none-the-less.
