root@osiris:~# ps xau | grep xend
root      4854  0.0  0.4 103744  9812 ?        S    Jul12   0:00 python
/usr/sbin/xend start
root      4858  0.0  1.7 276092 36456 ?        Sl   Jul12  16:11 python
/usr/sbin/xend start

ubuntu gutsy x86_64 / xen 3.2.1-rc1 (sorry, I thought this was 3.2.0)
python is 2.5.1

In fact, python/xend is consuming the biggest chunk of memory used in
dom0 at all, but this isn't really hard for this particular dom0 since
there's nothing running except the usual suspects.

cheers,

Stephan
