Questions about mpd and sonata ram usage

Hi again!

I'm very impressed with mpd and i really love the sonata client with it's cover art , lyrics fetching features .

I've noticed that mpd uses about 13 mb ram and sonata 16 mb of ram. I have about 6 albums in my library .

I was just wondering if it is normal for mpd and sonata to use that ram .

I have enough ram about 1gb so it's not an issue , i'm just curious if this is normal

Also i've noticed that with mpd and sonata the cpu usage is much lower than with audacious when playing files , but the ram usage with mpd is higher

Thanks again

Hmmm...I have Arch64 with a 15,000 collection, MPD uses 9.8MB and Sonata uses 52.5.MB, whether there are songs in the playlist or not.
