Heh.  Good point.

By "running" do you mean "busy"?  I'm not positive but I think
puppetmasterds were at the top of top when we were running Passenger.
We're running Mongrel now so I can't double-check.

The vast majority are under a meg.  The top 15 are between .9M and 7M
and only get distributed to one machine.

The clients are nearly all 0.24.7.  Once the file ignore bug (#2358) is
fixed we'll try 0.25 on more clients.
