MySQL Hogging Memory

Hello,

I am trying to make MySQL use less memory. After doing several searches and reading articals such as this one I have been unable to lower the amount of memory MySQL is using.

I have a Windows 2003 VPS that currently has 192MB of memory allocated to it. When MySQL is not turned on I am at ~45% memory usage. But when I turn MySQL it jumps to ~85%, and that is with a fresh install.

Can anyone help explain why it is using 76.8MB of memory right off the bat and how I can lower it? The database I plan on using isn't even that big yet, it is only about 40MBs. Thanks.
