In your case it will use as much as needed to temporary load the location table on startup, but only in _one_ process. The rest of the processes will use < 1Mb, so the total physical memory used will be something like no_of_processes-1 + size_needed_for_location. Think of the PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE like an upper bound and not actually used memory. You need to worry about PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE only if you have memory overcommit disabled (and even in that case only if you exceed the physical memory configured on the box). The reason for the low 1Mb default in 0.9.x (and 4Mb in newer versions) is debugging. Most people don't need more then 1Mb and memory leaks are caught much earlier this way. I'll increase the default for 0.9.9. Andrei
