Quite a lot.  (-:

(About 8 systems, most of which are transient, and some of which have 
additional vectors.)

Roy was also surprised when I told him this the first time, but it's 
really true.  Well, at least, for 8 CPUs, the per-CPU memory usage 
drops a lot when using ghosted vectors.  That's why I pushed their 
implementation.  From 8 to 24 CPUs (that's running right now), 
however, the per-CPU memory usage does actually not decrease 
essentially any more.

Best Regards,

Tim
