How to reduce reserved unused heap memory?
Iam doing some temporary memory intesive opeartions in a custom editor window but after Iam done all that memory is now sitting unused in 'ManagedHeap.ReservedUnusedSize' according to the profiler. How can I return this memory back to os? Looking into task manger, Unity is now using most of my RAM and I can't do anything about it.
You may be looking in the wrong place for optimisation.
What are you trying to do? i.e. what memory intensive operations?
I loaded a few big textures, did something in the scene based on the data and now I no longer need those textures in the memory. GC freed up the memory, so it's unused but still alocated to the unity proces..

Hopefully this will help. Perhaps break your textures into smaller ones.
