Unnecessary IO activity on Windows

Area of Concern

• [x] Server
• [ ] Behaviour of one or more Modules [provide name(s), e.g. ObjectDetectionYolo]
• [ ] Installer
• [ ] Runtime [e.g. Python3.7, .NET]
• [ ] Module packages [e.g. PyTorch)
• [ ] Something else

Describe the bug Running the AI server on Windows causes seemingly unnecessary IO activity. I observed that while the server is running and processing requests it writes a lot of temporary files to the C:\Windows\SystemTemp\ASPNETCORE_<uuid>.tmp path. Seemingly these are images, probably request bodies being buffered to the disk. This behaviour doesn't seem to be specific to any module, so I assume the server itself is doing this. If I stop the server the observed IO activity stops immediately.

Expected behavior Server should not buffer request bodies to temporary files or the server should provide an option to use memory for buffering requests.

Screenshots

Your System (please complete the following information):

• CodeProject.AI Server version: 2.0.8-beta
• OS: Windows Server 2022 21H2
• System RAM: 16 GiB
• GPU: Intel HD 530
• GPU RAM: ?

Additional context This seems to be an ASP.NET (default?) behaviour (see here), although I'm completely clueless about ASP.NET.

This is part of the ASP.NET infrastructure. Are the files remaining in the temp directory, or are they being cleaned automatically?

They are being cleaned up, so that's not an issue. In my use case there are several GiBs of images being processed daily doing a small amount of additional wear on the SSD.
