Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Ok, so I've done some testing and it turns out: a) testing memory
 consumption is harder than I thought, and b) the patches (in whichever
 combination) appear to have little to no effect. I think this is due to
 the length of testing being too short for the benefits of these patches to
 appear. I only tested them for less than an hour each.

 Currently I have all the patches applied and running on my latest build.
 The memory consumption of Tor-alpha is around 11mb. With Tor-alpha vanilla
 (sans patches) the memory usage was the same, 11mb. Compared this with
 Tor, which used 16mb. I am happy keeping the patches on while I continue
 testing. I don't think they'll hurt performance and if they improve the
 memory consumption over extended use then that works for me.
