Thanks for writing this up Devendra. That indeed seems like a lot of memory, especially for 80 pending tasks. It would be nice to at least figure out why this happen. It's probable that a fix would require significant surgery; but sometimes these issues can be one-line fixes.
I have a 'res' of 30M when viewing the next report, which has 742 tasks. Thus there is a mystery of how 10x more pending tasks leads to half of the memory.

I would be curious to know what other users report, if anyone comes across this bug. What is your memory usage? How many pending tasks do you have?

Presently on my system (Archlinux/xterm/zsh) with the latest version of VIT, with 80 tasks in the pending queue. Here is what htop shows:
Process VIRT RES
VIT 81 53 mutt 85 8 newsbeuter 278 5 elinks 79 16
All the numbers are in MB. This comparison is not fair and the numbers would vary depending on the data the respective program is working on. However, I think that the fact the resident memory usage of VIT is so high points to a problem.
