Description
Used FileInstall() to store and extract large files (300-900 Mb), and compiled with x64 and noUPX.
When starting compiled exe it takes a lot of memory (see attached screenshot)
When compiled the same source using 3.3.8.1 all is fine.

I don't have version 3.3.8.1 to test against, but in 3.3.12.0 it shows the same. It's the file being extracted from the exe, and as soon as that is extracted and saved to disk, the memory usage drops to a normal level. Doesn't look like a memory leak to me, I'd have to agree with TheDcoder that it's normal.

No new feedback from the original poster, so I'm going to assume that the explanation given fits his criteria. I see no bug.

That is not a memory leak, that is the file stored in the memory...
