i use rtorrent on 4.0 and 4.1 and see it consume large amounts
of memory while it is checking hash on a torrent (eg, resuming
a download, or restarting), sometimes dipping into swap (1G RAM
on the machine, usually ~700 or so free), but i've seen it appear
to return all of that after the hashing is complete.
i use these in my .rtorrentrc:
---
hash_read_ahead = 32
hash_interval = 1
hash_max_tries = 1
---
which makes the hashing at least happen faster, making the
overall wallclock duration of it holding a lot of ram hostage
become lower
