Memory usage of the dart:analysis_server

[makhosi6]

I wanted to bring to your attention an issue regarding the memory usage of the dart:analysis_server.

I noticed that the dart:analysis_server is consuming an excessive amount of memory on my machine, even though there are no open Flutter/Dart projects at the moment.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter. If there are any steps or recommendations you could provide to mitigate the memory-intensive behavior of dart:analysis_server, it would be greatly appreciated.
Below I have included a few files that might be helpful. Thank You in Advance.
