Background: Developer on Dapr ( [GitHub - dapr/dapr: Dapr is a portable, event-driven, runtime for building distributed applications across cloud and edge.](https://github.com/dapr/dapr))  
We are trying to include Temporal as a workflow engine in our current release (1.10)

Issue: When including the SDK in our project our memory increase spikes up by around 7MB.

SDK Versions:  
[go.temporal.io/api](http://go.temporal.io/api) v1.12.0  
go temporal io/sdk v1.17.0

Is this the expected memory usage of the inclusion of the SDK? If so, is there a “lite” version of the SDK that won’t consume this amount of memory? If not, is there any way to decrease the memory usage that comes with the inclusion of the SDK?

Does this happen without any load on the worker(s) or after you are starting a number of workflow executions?
