Really high RAM usage

Hello there, when i have an mp4 video as a wallpaper, Hidamari was observed using as much as 4 Gigabytes of RAM. My OS is Mint 21.3 (Cinnamon on X11), and the PC specs are:

I have Ubuntu 24.04 running on FW13 Intel Gen12, and playing a small 8.6MB MP4 file on my desktop.
The system monitor reports 3.4GB RAM usage, but I'm not sure if it reports correctly.
Can any one confirm?

Quick update: I remembered that i've been logged in for a few days and changed/connected external USB-C monitors multiple times. After killing and re-starting Hidamari (playing the same MP4 file as before), RAM usage is more reasonable ~100MB:

I will report back in case I observe RAM usage growth during this session.
(memory leak?? cannot be in Python, right?)

Same on Ubuntu 24.10 on matebook 14 2024, it has 16gb of ram. When I put my laptop to sleep, and came back after an hour, it has taken 11Gb of RAM causing my unit to lag.
