Description

1. Terrifying memory usage, after a period of use, the memory usage is very high, and comfyui seems to tend to fill up the memory. The previous versions would not be like this. This can lead to several times slower processing times for some complex video workflows

2. Model initialization is becoming slower and relies on high-speed disks, with various caches or fragments moving in and out between the disk and memory

Overall, it may seem like an attempt to optimize the use of vram but in reality, too many actions can lead to a significant decrease in overall speed and performance

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported memory growth and slower model initialization during a complex video workflow, comparing behavior with previous versions. Measure memory use, cache or disk activity, and initialization time over extended use; done means identifying a reproducible regression and confirming that the relevant performance degradation is resolved.
