Libreofice Writer: taking up LOTS of RAM : like 8 gb?

Greetings & Thanks in advance

Great work on Libreoffice!

  1. Is it “normal” for libreoffice to take up like 8 GB of ram on a 600 word ODT document? This is happening to me?
  2. Any way to reduce this without impacting functionality and speed?
    3> I tried to disable JAVA runtime but the checkmark box will NOT uncheck?

With the navigator in the sidebar, you can look for what objects there are.

Did you try the steps, Libreoffice Writer: very slow with big documens? Tried to disable JAVA runtime but cannot? - #3 by Hrbrgr given in a comment to another of your questions?
