After just a little bit of work with no other background processes on my Linux Mint machine, the IDE quickly consumes 13 GiB, but garbage collecting only release a few hundred MiB even though my environment just stores a few small objects. The memory report blames something labelled as 'cgroup' for the high consumption which seems to be permanent, since restarting RStudio helps nothing: after the quickly build up memory usage, the IDE now consumes 12 GiB on startup.

This issue still exists and I would love a solution. Just installed rstudio-2025.09.1-401-amd64.deb

this is very annoying and this amount builds up over time to absurd levels
Be great to see what the developers can do - or anyone else may have a solution
thanks
