I haven't tried your test, but this sounds a lot like the issue I reported with JIT, which is enabled by default in v12. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/release-12.html Enable Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation by default, if the server has been built with support for it (Andres Freund) Note that this support is not built by default, but has to be selected explicitly while configuring the build. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20201001021609.GC8476%40telsasoft.com terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' I suggest to try ALTER SYSTEM SET jit_inline_above_cost=-1; SELECT pg_reload_conf(); > memory growth immediately. It's about a gigabyte an hour in my test. > Sorry for the large-ish attachment. Your reproducer is probably much better than mine was. -- Justin
