Thank you.  That about "1k per object for internal structures" is what I was 
looking for.

I recall seeing on the mailing list before a reason why Varnish would use more 
RAM than allocated due to storing something outside of the defined allocated 
memory.

For example, I have a box that is allocated 6G of RAM, but it is using about 
12G virtual memory.

That doesn't make sense. Virtual memory is virtual. You're not using it, 
Varnish has mapped it into it's memory space. Just ignore it.

Also, note that allocating memory to a backend (6G) does not include the amount 
of memory needed for the various internal structures - more or less 1k per 
object.
