It's because of Linux's braindead (or perhaps I should say non-existent)
threading model. Each thread in the JVM will show up as a seprate process
(unless you use green threads). But have no fear; each one doesn't eat up all
that memory. The amount of RAM top says each process uses is actually the
amount of RAM used by the JVM as a whole.
