Today, after about 2 hours of programming, B4i.exe occupies 4 GB of RAM. It's similar with B4A. Has anyone else observed this problem?

When I start B4i fresh, it takes up about 100 MB of RAM, and over time it takes up more and more. When it reaches the 3-4 GB limit, debugging takes a very long time (e.g., after stopping at a breakpoint, it takes a very long time to move to the next line, and the rest of the program also runs very slowly). After restarting B4i, it runs faster again. My computer still has enough resources. I don't get an out of memory error.
