high ram usage after updating

hello,
I updated to the latest version of avast a few days ago
after the update I noticed high ram usage by avast
particularly the avastsvc.exe process
it never uses under 20 mb of ram after updating
it used to show between 1 mb and 5 mb
is this because of the rewritten web shield or just a bug

It has been reported before. lukas.hasik is asking for process dump to be sent to avast!.

I sent mine yesterday. Please send yours. The more dumps they have the fastest they can fix the issue.
