RAM usage going down after a while

[Raptor42]

Usually when I start up the game, it eats about 6-7 GB of RAM on startup, so the story goes as follows: I started my game as usual, launched few rockets, normal stuff. Then I went away for like 20-30 minutes and I left my game paused in orbit. Then after I returned, I noticed that the RAM usage went down from the usual 6-7 GB to only about 3-4 GB (even when I unpaused). Does anyone know what could've caused this unusual behavior? I don't complain or anything, it just surprised me a bit.

Happens with me as well; I am pretty sure it is normal. Probably happened when data in memory gets cached.
