Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
In a shared machine, or even a personal one, it's better to automatically free up the memory used when the model is not in use.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Some `idle_before_unload=600` parameter that unloads the model after that many seconds of being idle. The model should be reloaded automatically whenever it is used again.
