Description
Compared with geom_boxplot(), geom_violin() seems to consume an unreasonable amount of memory. I get this error trying to plot a 70091 x 2 dataframe:
Unable to allocate 36.6 GiB for an array with shape (70091, 70091) and data type float64

Research direction
Start by reproducing geom_violin() with the reported 70091 x 2 dataframe and compare its memory behavior with geom_boxplot(). The issue names no source file or test; done means the violin plot no longer attempts to allocate a 70091 x 70091 array or otherwise consumes unreasonable memory for this input.
