This parsing of the filter lists requires a good amount of temporary memory. So if you look at the task manager **right after** µBlock has loaded and parsed the filter lists, you will still see µBlock's memory footprint as a result of loading all the filter lists. Still, at this point all this temporary memory has been relinquished to the browser, but the browser hasn't yet collected the freed memory to make it available for reuse.
