Description
So i noticed that Debian takes a ton more ram running the same 120 dwarfs then Ubuntu. Ubuntu is at 418mb but with Debian its is at 1.69gb. My guess is Debian kernel is the problem cause fuse is a kernel module and not build into kernel vmlinuz image.
here is Debian ram usage:

here is Ubuntu ram usage:

Debian kernel is 6.1.0-10-amd64 and Ubuntu kernel is 6.2.0-25-generic. I hope this helps.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the 120-dwarf mount on Debian 6.1.0-10-amd64 and Ubuntu 6.2.0-25-generic with comparable memory measurements; done means documenting a reproducible project or environment difference.
