OVRServer_x64 Memory Leak/Not clearing working set

Will be sending this directly to support as well.

Here's the issue:

This service is currently taking 4gb of memory. Without anything attached. The Oculus program is not running. Firefox has a youtube video playing. I checked via other apps; this is working memory, not non-paged or standby memory. So ovrserver_x64 is using 4gb of memory without any use or reason to. 

But that's not all. In the hour or so while I was investigating this,

It took another 800mb or so of memory. In processhacker it's actually taking about 5.1gb total private memory (ie; reserved memory, and most of it is working memory)

This is absurd. I can imagine this could be the cause of many people's issues if they have less capable memory or a lot less of it. If I only had 8gb, I'd be well over my limit and into the pagefile, ie I would probably bsod or the program would crash. I think this would be fine (jk, this is still ridiculous for a simpler server app that isn't even running) if I had Link going or something. But, like, really?

I've created a .dmp of the memory but it's obviously 5gb in size so I'll have to look at it privately I guess. If anyone else can notice this issue especially when NO SOFTWARE is active, that would be interesting to hear.
