Memory issue with Plugins, but I guess that's not the whole thing

I thought I encountered problems with some distinct plugins, running
them continuously in a loop via macro.

(Winx64, FIJI most recent/up to date), plugins:
- bUnwarpJ
- Linear Stack Alignment with SIFT
- Apply saved SIOX segmentator

I encounter them reproducible, when a bunch of files is processed via
macro loop. When I disable the plugins (comment them out) and let the
macro run itself (opening and closing files), everything is fine.

I'm not sure if this is a system issue only on Windows and I tried this one.

- open the Systems's RAM viewer (i.e. Task Manager>Performance)
- start FIJI
- open "Memory Monitor"
- load an Image Sequence as Stack (1,5GB) -> Ram is occupied
- duplicate that Stack, everything fine, ~3GB occupied
- closing both stacks doesn't release the RAM

I mean I double clicked inside of the Memory Monitor, but that does not
free the memory. Is this wanted? I remember running into a dead ends
with macros and certain plugins caused by full RAM. I don't know if this
is still a plugin issue or another..

Best regards,
Rainer
