Top shows zero load on the machine (its just sitting there running cyrus,
its not even hooked up to sendmail yet).

Memory usage on beefy machine (from top):

Mem:  1028484k av, 1004088k used,   24396k free,       0k shrd,
167496k buff    432436k actv  9108k in_d  16640k in_c
Swap: 2096472k av,  0k used, 2096472k free  555096k cached


Memory usage on cruddy machine:

Mem:   642776k av,  619512k used,   23264k free,       0k shrd,
