Hi all,

As discussed in the Discord server, I noticed that Orion no longer frees the ram like it used to. Instead the app (Orion and not its processes) accumulates ram and reaches very often 1gb+ of usage. The only solution to totally clear it is to quit the app, but it is a temporary solution as the problem will resurface soon after.

Steps to reproduce :
Open Orion (compatibility mode to avoid any extensions interference) and open 7+ tabs and keep browsing as you normally do, you will notice that ram usage jumps from the usual 200mb to around 700-800mb just under normal usage, I must add that this behaviour is also present in the latest version of Safari (especially after the 16.0 update) so this can be a webkit problem but it needs further investigation. One important thing, this behaviour is best seen if you don't quit your browser (with command-q) for a day or two, for those of you who would want to experiment.

Orion version : 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 build 22A400
M1 MacBook pro 8gb ram.

Regards,
