Today after long editing session I noticed that my PC slowed down noticable. I looked up into task manager and saw that Lightroom uses 13GB of RAM + 12GB usage from Photoshop. I thought it isn't that much, because I have 64GB of RAM, but it's usage was at 98%. After I closed Photoshop RAM usage dropped by 15GB and after closing Lightroom usage dropped by 33GB! That's huge amount of RAM usage and it was 20GB more than task manager was showing next to Lightroom process. Is this a bug?

Hi, 

 

I have the same issue with LRC is using over 35Gb of RAM and exports are failing due ti insufficent memory. I am trying to export a single photo as a Jpeg after I have edited it.

After a lot of searching and testing I can't help but think that this is a bug within LRC.
