Unix Shadow Processes take more memory with 9.2

Server: AIX 5.1
Database: 9.2.0.4

We are noticing each connection to the database takes approximately 5
MB of OS memory.  Our 8.1.7.4 databases take 3 MB of OS memory.  Has
anyone else noticed something similar?  Did we miss something in the
documentation.

I found note 259983.1.  Applied the workaround, and this brought the
usage down to about 4MB per connection.  

workarea_size_policy = auto
pga_aggregate_target = 292552704

We are calculating the shadow process size per note 123754.1 as
follows:

ps v <PID>    (RSS - TRS) * 1024

Thanks,
Rob Pegram
