High memory usage on API docs

[christopherfujino]

For example, for the Core package: https://ocaml.org/p/core/v0.17.1

I am seeing between 615MB and 850MB of memory usage in Chrome on Windows: 137.0.7151.56 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable).

On a smaller package like odoc (https://ocaml.org/p/odoc/latest), I'm currently also seeing 627MB usage.

While Chrome says the tab is using 610MB, the dev tools say the JavaScript VM is using 25.5MB of memory, so I'm guessing it's not the JS?

#3124 may possibly address this, but if not, let's look into it after that patch is merged.

Nice! Sounds like a plan.

This is now merged - has this helped at all? It seems to load the pages more quickly for me.

Nice, I'm seeing 56.9mb usage on the same page (it actually went DOWN after being open for a few minutes, whereas previously I felt like it leaked memory). Closing this as fixed, thanks!

Well, it's not apples to apples, because it seems like https://ocaml.org/p/core/v0.17.1 no longer loads any of the sub-modules, when I click through to https://ocaml.org/p/core/v0.17.1/doc/index.html I initially had ~350mb memory usage, which levelled off to 208mb. However, I'll still call it fixed because this is a huge package, and we're still using a lot less memory.
