I see several gitea.exe and git for windows, is it normal? it is taking a lot of memory after couple of hours of usage. We have 20+ users using this at the same time. But this is not disappearing even after we stopped using it for few hours.

Gitea version: 1.11.6 built with GNU Make 4.1, go1.13.11 : bindata, sqlite, sqlite\_unlock\_notify

Also I got some help from the Discord channel, they advised me to upgrade (I cant upgrade now as it might affect some repositories). So trying to run repack and see if that helps.

Thanks.
