Number of processes and memory allocation

[Joerg Maschtaler <mali@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I run two Tor server which settings are very similar and i can't figure
out why one of them runs only one process with a memory allocation of ~
10 MB (online since 6 h) and the other one runs six processes with a
memory allocation up to 120MB.
(Both server are running on the same OS.)

So my question is:
How does Tor determine the number of processes and the allocation of memory?


Thx in advance,
Joerg
