# Frequently Asked Questions

## 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.
