Description
### Custom Node Testing
- [ ] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)
### Expected Behavior
OOM (system RAM) after a few times of model switching, even pressing Unload model doesn't release memory.
### Actual Behavior
Switching models does not release system memory (only with the 1-2 latest updates, I think), and after 2-3 times of switching, Comfy crashes. Older versions do not have this problem. Btw, I have 64GB of RAM and 12GB of VRAM.
### Steps to Reproduce
Just switching from one model to other a few times until system runs out of memory.
### Debug Logs
```powershell
No log, Comfy just silently crashes.
```
