    Memory usage gets high and stays high

      I'll use my current project as an example, but I've been noticing this issue ever since I started monitoring my computer's memory usage. If I have an hour long Premiere CC timeline and render it, during rendering my computer's memory will go up to about 90%. After rendering is done, task manager shows that Premiere is still using about the same amount of memory, and it stays that way until I restart my computer. It's like it has locked into using certain resources and cannot let go. Any way to remedy this? I currently have 10gb memory (ordered 2gb more that is arriving this week), so it's not the fastest machine around, but should handle memory better in my opinion. I am fine with the rendering speed itself, it's just the tied up resources afterwards that seem like it could be fixed.

       

      One more point - one solution is forcing Premiere and all its components to close. This gets the memory back to normal. Unfortunately, sometimes after I render a long timeline and force restart Premiere, when I get back all my render files don't properly reconnect and I'm forced to re-render the timeline. The fact that it doesn't reconnect to the render files is another related-issue I need help with too, if anyone can offer feedback. Thanks!
