systemd and memory

I'm using F15 beta full time now.  I note that when I run top, systemd
is using memory and cpu resources.   Memory especially seems rather
high.  (This is just running top, when I was wondering why the system
was suddenly slowing down.

(Sorry, I was cutting and pasting and trying to get the important ones.
Columns should be lined up well enough to figure out what I mean.)


I'm wondering if this is expected.  Googling hasn't helped here.  I
don't know enough about systemd to know if this is meaningless or
important.  I haven't seen any posts about it here, so, of course, it
might be one of those annoying Just Me issues too.   :)
