To Reproduce

Unable to reproduce with a clean build. The problem probably exists mostly with larger projects & extra packages. We don't have a lot of images on the website and disabled image optimisation, so next/image is not the problem in this case.

Describe the Bug

We are experiencing excessive memory usage that grows indefinitely, we see this problem from multiple sources. The only reason it goes down again is because we temporarily restart the server automatically when it hits a certain threshold.

Expected Behavior

The memory usage should be a steady line.

Which browser are you using? (if relevant)

Hi, please update to the latest version of Next.js v13 as v12 is missing a lot of updates! If you are still seeing issues with this in latest version we would be happy to investigate further!
