OPNsense 22.7.8 high RAM usage

[Vexz]

I just checked my OPNsense's dashboard and saw that the RAM usage is much higher than usual. Usually about 25% to 30% of my total memory is being used, now it's at 42%. I've never seen such a high RAM usage on my OPNsense before.
So I checked the console and used the top command to find out which process is the culprit. This is the result.


A reboot didn't help to fix the problem. Does anybody have a clue why these processes use so much of my RAM?

Edit:
I'm now back at 29% which is normal. I saw it go up to 58%. Makes me wonder what went wrong.

I saw similar behavior; I have an 8 GB box and it usually hovers around 2 to 3 GB.  It had been consistently maintaining 6 GB after the update.

I haven't been able to narrow down what the culprit was.

I noticed also much higher memory usage, as SWAP usage what was not there before. I have ordered extra memory just in case :-)
