andwe're over that level. 

Keep in mind the Postgres uses shared memory, so make sure not to
count the shared memory segment (set by the shared_buffers
configuration value) repeatedly for every process. I'm not sure which
Windows tools make it clear this shared memory is the same and which
might make it appear to belong to every process.
