I noticed that too. The VRAM gets fully stretched within seconds after entering the scene. As far as I understood the VRAM cache gets cleared automatically to ensure that there is always enough free VRAM to run the application and to avoid that kind of bottleneck. IMO this does not work correctly as the VRAM is always around 100% workload.
