sorry for my late answer.
What I was doing, I was debugging our demo and so I made small code changes and reloaded the rom tons of times. But that's when the usage was normal.
I didn't have a looppoint defined so after a while it wrote random ROM data all over the VDP (which looked really funky ;P), and I had it running in the BG for some hours. Later I was wondernig why my system was suddenly hanging like crazy... and well, there you go.
It happened again today, when I woke up it consumed 13GB of RAM...Weird stuff.
BTW, alk might have already messaged you, we have lots more test ROMS that are inaccurate on Exodus, maybe they can help you in development
