reth node consumes much swapfile

[dandavid3000]

Hello,
I'm switching from geth to reth node on base but it seems I observe an issue with RAM and swapfile (110GB) on my PC have been consumed noticeably. geth node was much pretty light and doesn't cause me any issue.

Do you have any suggestion for the configuration on how to prevent/avoid such situation ?

My node is up-to-date and synced from pruned full snapshot from official base.
I try to turn off flashblock but the issue is still persistent

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
MemTotal: 65518220 kB
CPU Model name: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900
Swapfile : 136GB

Below is my configuration for the node. Nothing much different from default except I modified it to use local RPC and different ports

$ cat docker-compose.yml 
services:
  execution:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: ${CLIENT:-reth}/Dockerfile
    restart: unless-stopped
