My understanding is that all of the ircd's are rather large. I dunno for undernet and efnet though, I'm most familiar with dalnet. But as a whole the ircd is large - just be worried if it runs at more than 20M in mem - that's the mem leak which ircd and 2.1.0 experience - least on the dalnet code (upgrade to 2.1.5 and it'll fix it for you) -Leigh
