Those are not 4 processes, it's one process with 4 threads.
The memory is used only once.

What is memstat? "ps" on boxen here says it uses way less:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root       151  0.0  0.1  1404  272 ?        S    Aug11   0:00 [ypbind]
root       152  0.0  0.1  1404  272 ?        S    Aug11   0:00 [ypbind]
root       153  0.0  0.1  1404  272 ?        S    Aug11   0:00 [ypbind]
