  Hmm. I've never used "vmstat -m" before.
  A shame that I can't use it like:
     vmstat -m routetbl -w 5 
  to monitor that value...

On a 64M physical ram machine, I have a 25Mb bgpd process:

14019 root       2    0    25M   20M sleep     0:36  0.68%  0.68% bgpd

(plus a 25Mb zebra process)

I adjusted the NKMEMPAGES to be 8192. It was 4072 on the 64Mb machine.
This is a 5 port router. It currently also has squid and named, but squid, at
least, will get removed.
