CineWare RAM issues

I have been seeing issues with computer performance, file lagging, freezing, and even crashing; and digging into the activity monitor on computers having the issues, I've noticed that CineWare is eating up huge portions of computers Memory. Currently, it appears that on of the 4 files I have open is using 5GB, but CineWare is using an additional 1GB, and this is far from the worst I've seen. It's hardly an issue for me, but people running on 32GB total RAM are often faced with CineWare eating up 50% or more of their RAM.
Is there any reason that CineWare is actively using a computers allocated memory, even when no rendering is being processed?

AFAIK Cineware is a basic subset of C4D running "within" AC. Basically for every AC you launch you are also launching C4D.
