nfs-ganesha also has cache layer which can scale to millions of entries 
depending on the number of files/directories being looked upon. However 
there are parameters to tune it. So either try stat with few entries or 
add below block in nfs-ganesha.conf file, set low limits and check the 
difference. That may help us narrow down how much memory actually 
consumed by core nfs-ganesha and gfAPI.

CACHEINODE {
	Cache_Size(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 32633); # cache size
	Entries_HWMark(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 100000); #Max no. 
of entries in the cache.
}

Thanks,
Soumya
