Memory leak issue still persisting after May update?

Are you guys still facing the memory leak issue even after the May hotfix update?

I don't even use Virtual Desktop or PCVR. I mostly use my headset for YouTube, Netflix, and local media playback, but the performance degradation is getting ridiculous.

When I first boot up the device, the RAM usage is already sitting at a massive 8.5 to 9.5 GB. I'm not entirely sure what the normal baseline usage should be for a headset in this category, but I know the Quest usually hovers around 2 to 2.5 GB.

QUESTION : What should the actual baseline RAM usage be for a high-end XR headset right after a fresh boot?

With our baseline starting so incredibly high, it doesn't leave much breathing room. The real issue is that while just watching YouTube, the RAM usage climbs by about 1 GB every single hour.

Once it hits the 14 GB mark, the system completely falls apart:

- Hand tracking stops working properly.

- Virtual screensstart floating away and glitching out.

A forced reboot is the only way to temporarily fix it.

I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this exact same behavior during basic media playback?
