When I unlock the Vault, Goldwarden wants several Gigabytes of RAM. While this generally isn't an immediate issue for a modern 16GB+ machine, it's can cause excessive loading times or even OOM killings on older 8GB, let alone 4GB, machines.

I have about 500 entries in my vault, but I can still reproduce the problem after logging out, so this really seems like a bug.

On a 4GB machine with nothing else running, unlock takes like 10 seconds:

First small bump is opening goldwarden, huge peak is unlocking, the drop is what happens after unlocking is complete. When lower on free RAM (under 2 GB) it can take upwards of 30 seconds due to excessive swapping.

edit: this repeats when locking and unlocking again without restarting. Tested with a vault that has just one entry.

Fedora 41
Goldwarden 0.3.6

I tested the CLI version and seem to be having the same issue.

Memory usage always spikes after pin unlock, even did it during setup, before logging in.
