Hello,

I've been experimenting with the new Store module, which seems very handy. I have a custom store that is about 2GB in size. In the GUI (BaseX 10.3 beta), when I try to load it into memory with store:read(), the reported memory usage appears to max out (with 32GB of available memory):

Total Memory: 32 GB
Reserved Memory: 32 GB
Used Memory: 32 GB

However, monitoring memory usage with htop shows a smaller increase in memory usage: from 5GB at baseline, it peaks around 15GB, then goes down to 9GB, all while the BaseX GUI appears to be frozen.

After a couple of minutes, the store does load, but GUI performance seems to be degraded, and it continues to report max memory usage.

Any thoughts?

Tim
