I use more or less average ~1GB too:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

Reload timing is about this:

May 16 09:43:40 22 north courierfilter: avfilter[12234]: spawned child while parent reloads
May 16 09:44:30 22 north courierfilter: avfilter[12234]: exiting

If you have additional databases, it may take various minutes.
