Try taking it out to a heavy-duty java site like this one:

http://ww.npac.syr.edu/projects/vishuman/VisibleHuman.html

Just for fun I ran 4.5-glibc on it, and bang! It jumped up to
41 MB of memory use. Personally, I like the speed and better
stability of 4.5, but ya gotta watch the memory on this pup.
Maybe that's part of the new style of security for NS, since
you have to kill it every little while (thereby clearing out
the cache...).
