Avast memory usage

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’ve just updated to version 2014.9.0.2011.
Avast memory usage in idle time is around 35 MB, and peak memory usage is around 80 MB.
In previous versions the numbers were 2 (TWO) MB in idle and 50 MB max.
Also, Firefox now starts up with extra 10 MB.

What could be the cause?

Thank you.
