Hm.... the process itself should not take that much RAM. I dont know if normally the OS should assign the max RAM to the program.
But this should not happen and I wonder how "just letting it freeze" works
It makes system unresponsive, true. But its still running the main things, the render or decompressing or whatever. So it eventually unfreezes when it completes, by giving other programs(including GUI) back the CPU and ram.
Ok so killing is worse than just keeping alive.
This is a fair point.
I dont know a good solution for this, not killing but freezing is likely the best.
I dont know
Preferences matter too. Some like their progrms to be killed. Some may want it to run anyway however possible
