Steps to reproduce: Start docker
We see dockerd taking up upto 57MB RES Memory as shown below:
[root@MBOOT40 ~]# top -b -n1 | grep docker
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
7979 root 20 0 538992 57208 22780 S 0.0 3.0 0:00.20 dockerd
However, we were previously on an older docker distribution and the memory used was just 12 MB.

Why has memory usage gone up between these versions? Is there a stripped down version that can be built from source so that the memory footprint is low.
I am trying to use docker for an embeded platform where memory constraints require a low memory footprint.
