today 11:00 GMT+2 something happened. Tor process ist still running and
I didn't touch die config within the last two days.

Memory usaged didn't change. Pls have a look here

I managed to compile and link a tor binary with libhugetlbfs together
with openbsd-malloc but nor being sure, if this changes anything. This
is the configure call:
CFLAGS="-B /usr/local/share/libhugetlbfs -Wl,--hugetlbfs-align"
./configure --prefix=/ --disable-asciidoc --enable-openbsd-malloc

this might be the explanation why load dropped since 11:00.

no, I didn't
