There is no problem. All is normal. This is not the bug you are looking for. Move along.

Seriously--Mem usage went up in 2.0 by a huge amount. If you use Conversation and/or portscan2 you're going to gobble quite a bit. You can use the config: lowmem option to drop the usage some. The biggest thing that's eating memory is the new way of organizing rules.

Cheers!
