Description

Game Name?

All

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Each time I load a game, it fills up Windows' pagefile.sys with ~30GB of data (FAST_BLOCK_MAP_SIZE?). The space is released when the game is stopped. After bissection, dolphin-master-5.0-20126-x64 (https://dolp.in/pr12155) seems to introduce this issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Launch a game from the game list.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes, tested on dolphin-master-5.0-20290.

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Windows 10 22H2
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
16 GB of RAM
30 GB of free space on my SSD

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I attached the output of SysInternals tools just in case.
