I have had no time yet to show the changes in the memmory map on an OpenVZ machine. But I found one thing that helps, limiting the stack size with ulimit:

ulimit -s 16

Significantly reduces the stack used by every thread, and thus the amount of memory allocated. However I have no idea what is a good amount of stack to use. I suppose this differs with programs.

The quick fix (while waiting for the RSS limiting) would be to mention the usage of threads and ulimit in the documentation of privvmpages usage.

pthreads allows to set the stack size, but it defaults to the maximum allowed by ulimit.

The mappings are really straight forward (4K + around 8MiB per thread). If you still want this info, I'll probably be able to mesure it sometime this week.
