Comment (by hp197):

 What i meant was this:

 {{{
   7.1 GiB +   1.2 MiB =   7.1 GiB       /usr/local/varnish/sbin/varnishd
 -P /var/run/varnish_xxx.pid -a :xxx -f
 /usr/local/varnish/etc/varnish/xxx.xxx.xxx.vcl -T :xxx -s
 file,/usr/local/varnish/var/varnish/xxx/cache.pool,5G -i xxx -n
 /usr/local/varnish/var/varnish/xxx -p thread_pools 4 -p lru_interval 1800
 }}}

 It is using 7.1G and using diskcache as backend. If i used malloc here, my
 server would be swapping big time.

 This is without the ulimit.
 Going to try out now...
