Sidekiq uses memory even if workers are down

I scheduled some background tasks using sidekiq with concurrency workers of 22 but I see that about 13.7% of memory consumption occurs even if none of the workers are working, is this normal or do I need to change some configuration in sidekiq so that avoid this.

ubuntu    9331 21.8 13.7 1505656 1082988 ?     Sl   Mar06 557:08 sidekiq 2.7.5 jobs [0 of 22 busy]

thank

13.7% seem to have a lot of memory, but I don't know how much GB you have. (I read poorly the best results).

However, even if all your workers do not work, Sidekiq is still ready to handle new tasks. And it consumes memory.

So, depending on the amount of memory you have, this is completely normal.
