~11MB equals ~8 cents of RAM ... so meh.

If that's all you have to worry about its a good indication that they
aren't any real problems ;)

11Mb on a device that may only have 256 such as an XO-1 or a phone or some other ARM based device is actually quite a bit, over 4% in fact. 8c x 2.5m devices is around $200K. While 4Gb is pretty standard in laptops, and 1Tb isn't uncommon in servers now days there are also 100s of devices that run linux in a whole lot less than that.
