You could modify the tor init script to limit the memory usable by /usr/sbin/tor as described here:

http://jlebar.com/2011/6/15/Limiting_the_amount_of_RAM_a_program_can_use.htm...

But I don’t know if this works on RaspPi platform and what happens when the tor process hits the memory limit.

Thank you, I may mess around with this - what I'd dearly prefer is a torrc setting though. Maybe I should search for existing feature requests and/or submit a new one.

Is there a way to give Tor a hard memory cap, so it won't chew up all available RAM on the system?

Best, - -Gordon M.
