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.
