Something bogging up ram

[rws]

Hello,
I'm noticing something is causing RAM to bog up occasionally (ie memory doesn't fully clear even after Vray is closed).
Closing Blender clears the memory to normal usage.

Anyone else experience? Maybe this is blender problem...

Re: Something bogging up ram

Actually I think it is problem with blender. It appears to be quite clearly to do with loading huge hdr images. (ie just selecting them in the file browser to use as texture).

Blender just doesn't seem to clear any data, just opening the project .blend file, then looking through textures ram usage goes to like 6gb or 9gb and stays there whilst task manager report Blender using only 500mb.

EDIT, this is not new, vblender 2.63 does the same thing. Uggghhh, I hate computers, wish I could through it out the window. Can't render with 30% RAM left.
