You don't get 8 gnunetd processes with that much memory 'each'. It is one
process, but ps/top report all of the 8 threads, and the memory is shared, so
there is no multiplier by 8. Nevertheless, the memory consumption of the
configuration you described of course kills such a machine, even with just
one process :-).
