Tor consumes substantial skbuf memory in the kernel, which accounts for some of the difference in reported size for VmRSS and VmSize and total memory consumption.

This reminded me that I had these tweaks applied (as on all my boxes):

net.core.rmem_max=16777216 net.core.wmem_max=16777216 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4096 524288 16777216 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 524288 16777216

Maybe these are too much for 1GB VMs with 2 instances of Tor each, so now switched it all back to defaults (which didn't seem to affect Tor speeds) and it seems better so far.
