Should I use the resource scheduler to clean memory fragments when my Crucial DDR4 8GB usage climbs over 3 hours in Dead Space?

After exploring the Ishimura for a few hours, the once-fluid gameplay became a stuttery mess—the performance decay was driving me insane. Monitoring showed the Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB usage creeping from 6GB up to 7.5GB - 7.9GB in Task Manager; a textbook memory leak squeezing out all available space. I tried restarting the game, but it just happened again two hours later—the cycle of frustration made me want to roast the developers' optimization. I then enabled the GamePP Resource Scheduler Panel, setting a memory fragment clean every hour and locking the game priority to 'Highest'.
