After recent updates, I've noticed extremely high RAM usage while using Camera Raw to edit photos on Bridge while using my MacBook Pro M1. Even if I'm only opening a few photos (under 1GB total file size), it'll quickly max out my RAM and use the swap file, and the app specific RAM usage typically goes above 15GB. This also causes the entire program to crash. I have not noticed this issue while using my older Intel MacBook Pro.

I'm using a MacBook Pro 13 M1 with 16gb RAM running MacOS 14.3. I'm on the latest version of Bridge and Camera Raw (Bridge 14.0.3 and Camera Raw 16.2.1).

In the screenshot I've uploaded, I only have 10 images open on Camera Raw. The total file size of these images is under 300MB, but the RAM usage for Bridge/Camera Raw is over 9GB. The RAM usage typically starts at around 4GB once I open the photos, and it increases immediately after I start editing any photos.
