Threaded 6.4 code compiled under 9.0 uses a lot more memory?..

Depends how you mean 'the same' - on the 6.4 system it shows:

   cc (GCC) 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305

And, on the 9.0-S it shows:

   cc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]

So 'same' - but different versions.

Yes. They are 'plain' programs - no X or anything.

Now they've been running for an hour or so - they've gotten a little larger 
552M/154M and 703M/75M.

If it's not harmful I can live with it - it was just a bit of a surprise.
