It might be worth noting that tor version 0.3.4.7 has a memory bug flaw. This is fixed in 0.3.4.9. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27813

Example on my system with 0.3.4.7_rc installed. Note the "used" column:

# free -m && rc-service tor stop && free -m

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           7582        6336         228          26        1017         799
Swap:         15995         970       15025

 * Stopping tor ...                                                                                                                                                      [ ok ]

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           7582        1612        4883          26        1086        5527
Swap:         15995         952       15043

Interesting.  There's also bug #665698.  All the more reason to stabilize 0.3.4.9.
