I accidentally stumbled upon memory usage. Is it OK? How can I make it use less RAM? Frankly I do have a lot of notes, but 960MB memory?

I've noticed an increase in memory usage when 1.1 (or maybe 1.2) was released.

Hello everyone. Here to report that Joplin I had running on my computer for 180 hours straight consumed around 8 to 13 GB of RAM. Sorry, I haven't saved screenshots, but this time I will.

Currently, it sits on around 800 megabytes of ram altogether.

And btw, if this is important: Joplin 2.3.5, and OS is Manjaro 21.1.6.
