Hm.. looks like here agetty takes 840k, and X has 8M at the moment. So,
thats 40*.84 + 3*8 = 57.60M. Hm.. guess it wouldn't be a problem if you
have a lot of memory (and most of these probably would be swapped out.
guess there is a reason to have multiple swap partitions :)). I guess I
just remeber recompiling the kernel on my 8M machine to use 3 vcs
instead of 6 (as well as wondering what would happen if I killed syslogd
to save its 1M...whee.. low memory).
