Describe the bug or issue that you're seeing.

Memory usage of Android Studio keeps increasing, the longer I use it. It can fill up my whole system memory (32 GB) and swap (32 GB).

Please see attached memory dump. Before the dump, my memory and swap were close to 100% use. After memory dump (and AS restart) memory dropped to 56% and swap to 14%.

This issue has been bothering me on Linux for a long time. I've used various Linux distributions in the past.

I don't think it's a Gradle issue per say. If I run ./gradlew --stop to stop the deamons, memory drops a bit, but not for significant amount.

My JAVA_HOME env variable is set to /opt/android-studio/jbr/.
