After having installed the new RStudio update (for Ubuntu 24) from the deb-file 'rstudio-2025.05.0-496-amd64.deb', I experience very high memory usages, even when my Linux Mint machine has just rebooted and a new RStudio session is opened (<5 GiB). When I have worked for a while and need to free up memory for new objects, calling 'gc()' doesn't help much and neither does restarting (currently, I have a single open session that I just restarted, but it still consumes <12 GiB).
I suspected that the issue could be related to the update (the sha256sum of the installer file did match the one displayed on the download page and gpg signatures were fine), so I searched for the previous installer and found it at:
https://dailies.rstudio.com/rstudio/kousa-dogwood/electron/noble-amd64/2024-12-1-563/
Currently, the page displays the following sha256sum for the installer file:
2060709f36f31383fa228a9c3f57fe55a762bccee399f5d1e85046774a9f6135
However, this does not match the one for the file that downloads when clicking the download button.
