Varnish burns the CPU and eat the RAM

Hello Martin,

I did that :

# free -m
             total       used       free
Mem:          7964        156       7807
-/+ buffers/cache:        156       7807

# /etc/init.d/varnish start
Starting varnish HTTP accelerator:                         [  OK  ]

# free -m
             total       used       free
Mem:          7964       5044       2920
-/+ buffers/cache:       5044       2920

# ps uax | grep varnish
/usr/sbin/varnishd [...] -s file,/mnt/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,1G -p thread_pools 4

Even with a limit of 1G, it consumes 5G of RAM. Could it be related to
the number of thread ?
