Why is it that when I start mt-daapd that there are 8 processes started? (seen by using the ps aux command) Is there any way to reduce mt-daapd’s footprint on my NSLU’s meager resources?

There are really only two processes — the daap server and the bonjour advertiser. The rest are threads. The memory that shows up as “per-process” is really total, since the text and code pages are shared by all the threads.

So it’s really less ugly than it looks. What you are seeing is just an artifact of the older linuxthreads implementation.
