            Bug ID: 364848
           Summary: Krita adds more to memory usage, after opening and
                    closing several files
           Product: krita
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: raghavendr.ra...@gmail.com

When you try to edit many files in a sequence ( example pages of a comic) krita
goes on adding memory to the ram usage . 
Ideally krita should re-use the allocated memory of the previously closed image
for the newly opened one but krita goes on adding extra memory. So much so that
my 16 gb memory gets full and systems starts to use swap which also eventually
runs out.

I have discussed this on IRC and scottpy also noticed the unusual memory usage
on windows.
I have also shared the test files with dmitry and scottyp

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open one file. do something in it like changing color space resizing layers
etc
2.close the file and open another one.
3.repeat the process 

Actual Results:  
you'll notice that krita adds to the memory usage

Expected Results:  
Once image is closed krita should use the memory for the other image opened
after that
