I wonder how much are you paying for it. For example [1] provides 512 MB of
RAM for $5/month. Is that really too expensive?

But even there, Tor regularly starts to use 200+ MB of swap, in effect it
tries to use ~700+ MB of RAM. So I would say trying to run a relay on just
120+106 MB as you are trying to do is not feasible currently.

(Although I run a 64 bit system there in hope that crypto would be faster on
64 bit; possibly the RAM usage would be lower on 32 bit).
