Problem with RAM usage

[Arnaud3013]

Really usefull extensions. On dev nf4 (RTX 4070, setting 9500 max vram for model) Great speedup if no model change between generation.

But it seems to have some issues with memory management. When i change model, like in x/y/z plot and do some genration/tests, my memory explode. Vram constant no issue here, blocked at 9000 on my 4070, but RAM it's another topic. I've set some virtual ram to be sure to handle model in q8_0, I've 32go physical RAM and 60go of virtual RAM on nvme ssd. without extension no issues, sometimes RAM usage go up to 55go but not more, with extension very often it go up to 90go and crash forge. It seems when changing model, something is loaded again and again at each loading of a model and is not cleaned

Unfortunately I can't control the forge internal memory management.
It loads each individual t5 if it is integrated and if you don't specify an external one. Use a separate CLIP/T5.

I don't have any memory problems with this. If you already use it - let me know what checkpoints you use to reproduce.
I also recommend avoiding the CPU Swap Loaded (blocked method) message. Q4 best for 12gb. NF4 is trash cuz too noticeable square pattern and other quality issues.
