Memory usage - 14M

I'm tracking my desktop's memory guzzlers at the moment and I noticed
that slrn is using what looks like considerable amounts of memory:

In top I see the following:

VIRT	:	15336
RES	:	14m

These look like rather high figures since I just fired up slrn via a:

$ slrn -h myisp.host

.. and did not download any message headers. I'm just sitting  on the
subscribed newsgroups list.

On the other hand, it does not look as if the memory consumption
increases much once slrn is started.

Would anybody know what the memory is used for? And whether this high
memory usage is a symptom of my not having configured slrn correctly?

Thanks,

cga
