Android Question When IDE is Open and Idle, Java is open as well consuming lots of RAM

[techknight]

I have noticed when the IDE is open, especially 2 or 3 instances of it, there are that many instances of Java running, using 700MB+ of RAM or more.

Even though its sitting idle, this is happening and its absolutely killing my VM.

is there any reason for this?

This is the optimized dexer process. You can disable it in the INI file. It will make compilation a bit slower, especially if you are using Firebase / Google Play Services.
