jacek.prywaciarzQ: High memory usage
Is it expected for Rhino to use 2gb of memory when its active (not when working on dication)

Edited Nov 4, 2026A: i fixed it for you.
whisper stayed loaded all the time and the cleanup model loaded at every launch. fixing both in the next update. on an m4 with whisper large-v3-turbo: launch goes from 1.77gb to about 620mb, and after 5 idle min from about 610mb to about 20mb.
tradeoff: after 5 idle min the model takes about 2.7s to reload. it starts when you start recording so only really short dictations wait. once its out can you check if you still see 2gb after 5 idle min?

Great fix. I think I would make use of even shorter delay. I work a lot with memory consuming apps like after effects and these 3 seconds startup delay doesnt make that much difference to me as 2gb of free memory. Maybe you can add ability to control this delay from settings?
