If you're on a 10Mbps port and set your limits to about 5Mbps RelayBandwidthRate, you're going to need more than 256MB - probably more like 768MB and a cron job to restart Tor if it chews up all RAM and gets itself killed.
I run tor perfectly happily on a VPS with 512MB of RAM. That node is on a Gig backbone, advertises 2.1 MB/s (2100 KB) and shovels data at anywhere between 24 and 32 Mbit/s all day every day for a monthly total of anywhere from 9.5 to 10.5 TiB per month.

last rebooted when I upgraded to Tor 0.2.4.17-rc about three weeks ago.
The limiting factor on a pi is not just memory. It is CPU.
