Are you sure you're measuring the memory correctly? The RES field in top
output, for example, includes shared memory, ie. the whole buffer cache.
Shared memory isn't really consumed by the checkpointer process, but
shared by all postgres processes.

As said before, the memory you may be not the real memory consumed by
checkpointer process, but it includes the shared memory (which is,
basically, used by all postgres' processes).
Depesz wrote a nice topic on his blog about this subject [1], read it and
try the commands to see the real memory usage by checkpointer (when I say
real, I mean private).
