Description

### Expected Behavior

Keep RAM usage below the limit, to avoid wearing down my SSD.

### Actual Behavior

I have 8GB VRAM and 32 GB RAM
I'm on Windows 10

With the full size fp16 models, my RAM usage goes above the limit, when the models need to be loaded.
It works, but the available SSD space goes down.

This is normal, I guess, considering the model sizes.

But it also happens with the ( fp8 ) Comfy-org checkpoint models ( 17.2 GB )

### Steps to Reproduce

I used the default workflow.
