Yes so as stated I recently upgraded to a 4k display. The viewer looks great -- reading this way is exhilarating -- the only problem is that the use of RAM and VRAM by each viewer instance in background is much higher now. Most epubs take ~550 mb as opposed to 150mb which is where they would generally max out beforehand. These resources are taken even if the viewer is not the primary window.

The dev is going to tell me "well just don't have multiple instances open" but that does impair my workflow. I just am wondering if any particular options will limit its footprint in this circumstance.

Thank you for considering it. Sorry if this is stupid/a mistake/etc.
