Yep ,-) I mean this is really strange behaviour, otherwise I would have 
not asked. Without softlimit zope seems to try to grab a lot of memory 
untill all the threads have started and then the memory usage drops down 
back to what is normal.

Database is aroung 600 MB, which is nothing bad since on another instance 
on another machine I run 2.6.2 with Pyhon 2.2.3 and 1,5 GB filestorage and 
in startup zope doesn't behave in similar way. I tried to search yesterday 
for information on how much Zope should be reserving and using memory in 
startup, but did not find any relevant information. Any pointers?

Yep. Without softlimit it works. Redhat 7.3 I think. It is not my box.

I'll have to try.
