I have noticed after the recent launcher update after I played earlier today, the amount of RAM being used has increased alot. This hurts especially in modded minecraft. On further research, I noticed that the launcher has a new update called "Enable dynamic content caching" Which probably is the cause of this issue. Could someone please elaborate it's function and add a way to manually disable it? It hurts streaming performance and used almost 9GB RAM (as seen in task manager) during modded minecraft play (1.12.2, which normally took within the assigned range of 4GB RAM)
Update: I ran minecraft later after waking up an now it's reached a peaked at consuming 11GB RAM and it is showing no signs of stopping..oh it almost hit 12 GB :''( The pic I shared is of my task manager while running the said mods.
Another Update: Without Shaders installed, It hovers over 8-9 GB(for still having 17 mods in it ) of RAM Used.
But on the contrary doesn't use much ram(5.5GB for 200+ mods) while playing a modpack off of twitch?? How ??

About that, On vanilla it runs within range but a little higher than usual. I would be glad if anybody me told what does Enable Dynamic Content Caching do? and how do I reduce this usuage. I have been these mods for a week now with ton of room to spare in my RAM but this started to happen randomly yesterday(after the update)
My problem is independent of the twitch launcher. Please help me and don't dismiss this problem without any care. You still have not mentioned how to fix the excess ram usage.
I will keep posting this bug till somebody helps me out here. This is extremely irresponsible dismissal of problem. I have reinstalled the minecraft launcher, but I still face this problem.
Okay. Atleast explain what does Enable Dynamic Content Caching do? I have asked 3 times and nobody has answered this question.
No idea. Seeing that there's a new folder called webcache withing the .minecraft directory that includes files like Visited Links, and Cookies, as well as some other files partially containing HTML code, I assume it just caches files shown in NEWS, and Minecraft Patchnotes and the like instead of downloading them every time the launcher is started.
You seem to be using a non-vanilla client. Try replicating the bug with a vanilla client.
