High memory usage

[varuzam]

I always used borgbackup so far. I tried duplicacy with a hope it uses RAM more efficiently. In my case ( backing up of ~ 780000 files) duplicacy consumed 3 times more memory (1.1GB) than borgbackup(350MB)

duplicacy holds 2GB RAM for me with ~4800 files totaling short of 2TB, and it can only get worse as the numbers on file grow. I have no choice but stay away from it as it makes backing up a liability.

Strange, not really an issue here, consumes 192 MB:

USER         PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND

Maybe an issue with the go runtime in the past? As it is doing the garbage collection for Duplicacy it can have an impact
