I've now temporarily(!) switched to using the server version of the java runtime.
Last one I downloaded was server-jre-8u321-windows-x64.tar.
There is installation instructions on the Oracle web site.
The documentation I've seen somewhere says the server jre is quite aggresive on garbage collection.
So generally SE runs slightly slower (because of more grabage collection), but SE tends to use much less RAM memory.
