Description

Large amount of RAM for a little increase cardinality.

Proposal:
For a cardinality of 365. I have a RAM usage of 64GB RAM.

Current behavior:
On starup the RAM increas to 64GB or up to 80GB and then only 5GB are used by infuxd task.
By raise cardinality from 6x6 to 6x12 RAM grow from 5GB up to 12GB in normal use.

Desired behavior:
Limit memory growth

Alternatives considered:
Switch to another db

Use case:
Server has only an amount of RAM

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing startup memory growth with cardinality 365 and the reported 6x6 versus 6x12 configurations, then identify the relevant memory allocation or retention path. Done means memory growth is limited without breaking normal database use, with regression coverage for the observed cases.
