I'm not complaining. I just care about Tor on the router. Memory usage
is a concern, and I was wondering if something can be done about it

Hi,
I'm running Tor on a router and was wondering why the Tor daemon uses so
much memory. Did a pmap:
pmap `pidof tor`
And got the following result:
1703: /usr/sbin/tor --PidFile /var/run/tor.pid
0040 1024K r-x-- /usr/sbin/tor
0050f000 4K r /usr/sbin/tor
0051 20K rw--
