High wasm memory usage
I realize this is very little to go on, but want to document it anyway. Might be a browser issue, might be a wasm issue, might be a configuration issue, who knows.
Using Firefox, having left Bridge sit idly open overnight, and then running a measurement on about:memory, I saw a good 11 GB allocated for the page.

But then, making a memory snapshot on the page itself using dev console shows nothing interesting at all:
Did the OS also report high memory usage? If not, this might just be WASM virtual memory that the browser has "allocated," which isn't necessarily a problem.
Yes, the reason I noticed was that the OS was complaining about memory pressure. I did not do any logging on the OS-level though.
