Excessive RAM consumption

[TheDreadPirate]

Unused memory is wasted memory.

This should be never used as argument to justify memory consumption and poor coding practices. The issue is critical and leads to OOM denial of service when swap is disabled even when Jellyfin never used.

[16:05:24] [INF] [4] Main: Jellyfin version: 10.10.7
[16:05:25] [INF] [4] Main: Environment Variables: ["[JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR, /home/dietpi/.local/share/jellyfin/log]"]

You're taking my comment out of context.

We get many questions about memory usage that are often along the lines of "why does Jellyfin use more than 100MB of memory".  "Why does Jellyfin cache so much data".  I assumed, initially, this was what the question would be before understanding the scale of the issue.

However, I stand by my comment when NOT in the context of OOM issues.

The devs are aware of this thread, but so far no one on the dev team has been able to reproduce the problem.
