why the fuck does VLC use several gigs of RAM if it's been open for awhile

why is every piece of software such absolute trash

@deprecated_ii It's probably just caching. Same as webbrowsers. More cached makes it faster. If you're not using the ram for anything it's wasted

@applejack free RAM is there for the next application I want to open

@deprecated_ii If you're running low then set the cache size smaller. Often programs will even adjust based on whats free. It's better
