This is likely to be CEF (memory used by CEF is accounted to the BGP
process). And yes, this amount of memory seems to be "normal" for
a full BGP table.
With 12.0S, I have:
- no CEF, NPE-225:
84 0 139795568 47721452 58320988 0 0 BGP Router
- with CEF, NPE-400:
91 0 79328336 1014588 75063872 0 0 BGP Router
so those figures match what you observe.
(What BGP *does* with these amounts of memory hasn't been answered
yet - "show ip b su" adds up to only about half the amount of memory)
