I'm sorry, I just can't resist:  upgrade to FreeBSD <grin>.

Seriously, under Linux for some reason separate threads have separate
PIDs, and top and its bretheren show the full memory compliment for each
PID, yet they actually share the memory.  Under FreeBSD the separate
threads do *not* show up as separate PIDs, so things look normal.
But in either case, things are actually working the way you want
them to.

(NB: I'm not on the main zope mailing list, but I've paired zope-dev off
the list as this is more of a 'zope' question than a 'zope-dev' question,
and as the message footers all say, crossposting between the two lists
is highly discouraged.)
