high Memory usage and Number of notes processes

Currently I am in the testing phase of our new Domino Application Server 
(5.08)
running on a standard SUSE 7.3 prof platform on a DELL Poweredge Server 
(PIII/1.13GHz/512MB)

I have not much experience with Domino yet and I am astounded about the 
high
memory usage of Domino (nearly all of the 512 MB is occupied)  and the 
System monitor
shows 168 processes running of which 80 belong to the "notes" user = 
Domino.
(23 processes named "server", 6 named "router" and lots of "http" owned by 
user notes)

The CPU usage is low (as expected in the testing phase)  approx. 10%, most 
of the 
processes sleeping. 

I found no hint on the Internet or in the documentation describing "normal 
conditions",
maybe notes has the strategy to grab all the memory "just in case" it 
could be needed?

Could anybody give a newbie (me) a hint on what to consider "normal" and 
if I should
add more memory to the machine. 

We plan to support 150 Users, but currently there is not much traffic on 
the system.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
