I'm running 7.0 (36454) on Lion 10.7.3 and the memory usage is crippling my machine. I have 4GB physical RAM and am down to about 20-40 MB free.
top -o rsize
shows avast being the main memory hog:

Is this a bug/issue?

Thanks. I did see this before I posted, but I thought it was different as I hadn't run a scan. The high memory usage for me is just having it running i.e. the shields.
Hopefully it will get addressed in subsequent releases.
