It's definitely doing stuff

Others in the Masternode channel in discord say they don't see anything close to what I'm seeing for memory usage.

This is very expensive to run, so I'd like to find out why and also how I can lower it.

Hey @levoncrypto , let me know what you need to help. I can give you access to one of my nodes if you need it.

[levoncrypto]

@NorseGaud I am working on memory load in general, which will help to reduce ram load, I think it will help you. If not, then I will tell you, and we will work with your node individually.
