[j-nsp] Need suggestions..

I seem to remember some discussion about how memory usage was reported 
changing between the 8.x and 9.x releases. ie, it would report much 
higher usage in newer releases but was still using basically the same 
amount of memory.  Perhaps a change in the underlying freebsd.
