Tor takes too much RAM

[Michael_google gmail_Gersten]

Just to toss some more numbers into the fray. Tor 1.2.14

I'm looking at about 62 MB resident, with 120 open connections (both
incoming and outgoing, from lsof and wc -l.). Actual bandwidth is
about 30KB/s, maximum advertised is supposed to be 20, but Vidalia
reports that it's 33 KB/s.

I'm on a mac, 10.4.9. "VSize" is 110 MB.

(In fairness for reporting, Mac's memory allocation is very slow to
remove unused pages out of memory. Tor was running mostly
uninterrupted for the last 24 hours, and I just started using Firefox
to read my mail.)
