I think this issue comes down to you either live with Avast’s memory usage or uninstall it and find something else. I honestly don’t think your going to find a full feature AV that uses less resources.
Personally, it’s how anti-malware software performs on my system and not individual resource usage that counts in my book. Avast for the most part has minimal performance impact on my system.
I run MBAM Pro concurrently with Avast and I have seen that at times using over 100MB of memory. Again, I have seen minimal impact on performance.
Bottom line, memory is dirt cheap these days unless your talking old DDR memory. If you have that, it’s time to upgrade your motherboard and CPU.
