    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.
