How much RAM for 10.6x scale?

[Nitrous Oxide]

I have either a memory leak in the flight scene where I cannot fly more than 10~12 minutes over terrain or ocean (effectively, anything on Kerbin); or a really broken modded install. Google-Fu results in nothing much other than it possibly being related to the PQS system...

How much RAM+SWAP is needed to play at 10.6x scale?

My 12 GB physical + 20 GB SWAP gets decimated making it unplayable with the game ungracefully exiting, failing to allocate even more RAM. Seems ridiculous considering the prominence of RO, I have a theory as to what my culprit may be, but I want to confirm if anyone has played 10.6x scale on less than 32 GB of RAM first.

Logs don't actually show anything, since the process just dies OOM...

It's not really about scale. It's about textures.

JNSQ (2.5x) uses more RAM than stock 6.4x with more part mods.

6.4x I played without much trouble with 16Gb.

For JNSQ I upgraded to 24Gb. Memory usage around 12-13-14Gb RAM and 6-7-8Gb VRAM (GTX1070). Not sure swap is going to help at all...
