Shouldn’t have to, but glad it is now working.

Tor server got killed and the attempts to auto restart also failed.

Manually rebooted the router. Tor server consumes >107%VSZ a short while after.

Is there a way to disable the directory service or other tor services such that tor server consume less memory?

Oh BTW, a few hours after writing up the above, I realized that an active Transmission BT might not live well with Tor server.

Look forward to having Tor 0.3.1.8 or later bundled with the next Gargoyle release. Cheers

Update: the Tor server has been running well for about 2 weeks. The major 'issue' seems to be the following log warnings:
Your system clock just jumped 242 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work.
Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit policy.

May I ask if there's a way to disable the directory service (V2Dir) which requires 140MB ram/cache and is too taxing for wdr3600? Will adding "DirCache 0" in torrc work?

No, you can’t set that flag to 0 in the configuration mode that Gargoyle uses.

It shouldn’t use that much RAM. But you could setup a swap partition.

OK, got it. Had a swap setup and running. One more question if I may ask: is there a way to reuse tor server's old fingerprint, after reinstallation?
