RAM eating rtorrent issue

So I've decided to switch to rtorrent. While I quite like it and have had no major issues learning it, I'm quite surprised at how much RAM it can take(up to 70-80MB after a few hours running with 4-5 torrents active, saving to an external hdd), which is a lot for my eee901. Even deluge used up less memory. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm running cruncheee 8.10.

Maybe its the version of rtorrent you have?

Try using this PPA to get a bit newer version:
