cyrus uses mmap a lot. The processes probably aren't actually really 
growing, they just look bigger because a user has a folder selected and the 
cyrus.index file has been mmaped into the process space. If they unselect 
the folder, the process size will drop back down again.

How much RAM does your machine have and how many users are you trying to 
support?

As a point of reference. We have quite old machines with 8G RAM, 8T attached 
storage that easily handle 2000+ processes under linux just fine.
