High RAM use on cold boot

Hi all,

I am seeing a high use of RAM on cold boot on my Gentoo machine. Once I boot the system, I am seeing around 920MB of RAM usage.

I do not have anything fancy loading up, and my window manager is DWM, which should be fairly light. I would expect the RAM use to be around 250-300MB, but not triple that.

These are the services I have running:
Code:Runlevel: boot
hwclock [ started ]
modules [ started ]
fsck [ started ]
root [ started ]
mtab [ started ]
swap [ started ]
localmount [ started ]

Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted
display-manager-setup [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manualAside from that I have the following programs upon boot:
- pipewire
- wireplumber
- mpd
- picom
- easyeffects

And this is the output from "free -h"Code: total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 1.4Gi 13Gi 45Mi 884Mi 14Gi
Swap: 20Gi 0B 20Gi*Note the use of RAM and buff/cache is higher due to the browser, but "used" on cold boot is around 920MB and "buff/cache" is around 420MB, which I think is pretty high also for the system just being started

What else could be wrong? Should I share my kernel config as well?

Thank you
