Huge lmtpd processes

[Su Li]

I don't know that is normal. If the cyrus can not handle the speed of the
mails coming in, it will create a new lmptd. For each mail there will be a
deliver process too. Please correct me, if I 'm wrong. Because My cyrus imap
handles email very slow(I am looking for ways to speed it up), lmtpd and
deliver can take up to 2G memory :) -- I have 2.3G on my Linux.

  Running Cyrus 2.1.9 on Redhat Linux 7.2 we're getting some lmtpd processes
using enormous amounts of memory, e.g., 179 megabytes.  Is this normal?  Do
large messages cause large memory use? In /etc/imapd.conf "maxmessagesize:
20000000".
