+## Q: Why is virtual memory usage high?
+
+Consul makes use of [LMDB](http://symas.com/mdb/) internally for various data
+storage purposes. LMDB relies on using memory-mapping, a technique in which
+a sparse file is represented as a contiguous range of memory. Consul configures
+high limits for these file sizes, and as a result relies on a large chunks of
+virtual memory to be allocated. However, in practice the limits are much larger
+than any realistic deployment of Consul would ever use, and the resident memory or
+physical memory used is much lower.
