I uninstalled and cleared files out and then I tried both versions you had up (Release 8.1.27822 + Release 8.1.27830). Yes It said over 4gb of RAM and the second addon on memory usage was around 40mb, which is more along the lines of what to expect. I ended up going to the official Zygor forums and found some references to the travel system being a huge memory hog. If you put the check in the Options > Waypoint Arrow > "Enable Travel System" the RAM use goes up, which I tested. I have just tried Release 8.1.27862 that you have put up and I am finding the RAM use is better but seems high still, but not unplayable. Currently the Ram usage is at 1.6GB with the Travel System fully enabled. It would be interesting to see how much RAM yours ends up using with the Travel system enabled. Thanks again, this last release is great.

Ok so after some time, the memory has picked up and seems even higher than before =total lockup.
After even further testing, removing the check from Options > Step Display > "Show Travel Directions" has brought it down to about 1.4gb again
I was also having this problem (it was using 2gb of ram) i think i'm gonna wait until the devs make it more stable
