The processes probably aren't actually really growing, they just look bigger because a user has a folder selected and the cyrus.index file has been mmaped into the process space. If they unselect the folder, the process size will drop back down again. How much RAM does your machine have and how many users are you trying to support? As a point of reference. We have quite old machines with 8G RAM, 8T attached storage that easily handle 2000+ processes under linux just fine.
