I'd be interested in whether that is typical behavior on other
distros.  I see that my virtual size for mythbacked is up to about
4.7G, but resident size is only 200M or so (and I've patched my
mythbackend to use larger buffers - that isn't in the Gentoo package).
I'm not sure what causes the virtual memory use, but since the kernel
oversubscribes that I don't think it should hurt anything unless it
gets REALLY bad.
