That is virtual memory, which doesn't tell you a lot, and is is basically due to rsyslog using modules. The linux linker reserves 10Mb virtual memory per dlopened module. The default debian rsyslog.conf comes with 2 modules loaded = 20Mb + 10 Mb for the rsyslog main process = 30 Mb virtual memory. What is more interesing is the resident or writable memory. rsyslog uses 560 Kb of resident memory on my machine.
