[Puppet Users] yet another memory abuse - puppetd

Hi All,

maybe someone could shed some light on this for me.

when puppetd is idle - i.e. in between puppet runs, it basically only waits
and maybe in some configuration listen on a tcp port for puppet run.

in all of my machines i have something similar to:
6142 root      15   0    0  28:20.21  4.9  *318m* *287m* 2580 S puppetd

is there anything that I am missing here? (I know that its not all resident,
some is shared etc but still).

I''m really thinking about moving to cron and dumping the puppetrun
services...
