Excessive RAM usage at load
#4
If you can run Gimp without any of the resources using the switch -d

-d, --no-data 
Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where start-up time is to be minimized.


In Win7 using the run command and

Code:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe -d

That starts a minimal Gimp

   

Which should use just a small amount of memory, proving it is a Gimp resources problem or not as the case may be. I get just 29,900K

   

Looks like you need to lose some of those resources until required. A recent post had a similar issue (possibly) see:   https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Brushe...07#pid2107
For details of a resources manager.
