Why is Metadata 4x the size of user data?

I assume user data is the actual values stored in Couch (haven't found much detail). We only have 2.65k items, and yet meta data in ram is 8.57M?
These are the stats for 1 server (not including any replicas)
Resident % : 100%
Total items : 2.65k
Memory Used : 93.5M <- ?
User Data in RAM : 2.57M <- ?
Metadata in RAM : 8.57M <- ?
Our key length is 24, so I'm pretty confused as to why metadata is so high and why our user data is so low.. If anyone can shed some light on this, that would be great.
