Yes, it's building a red-black tree structure during startup. > So that's about ~520 MB of memory per relay process, out of 3 total. This is probably shared (fork does copy-on-write, so forked processes can just use the original memory unless they make changes to it). Try adjusting the "prefork" number and check the free memory with top(1) rather than the per-process memory with ps(1).
