Memory increase while using the client about python-gitlab HOT 3 OPEN

@Ncoder2 I'm a bit surprised as we use python-gitlab for multiple long-running services that iterate over hundreds of thousands of projects and users on a weekly basis, and haven't seen issues. Do you have some results you could share?

Is there a reason to instantiate the client in every iteration instead of just once?

@nejch , Thanks for the quick response, i just changed the above example code and tried to keep the Gitlab object creation out of the loop and the consumption has reduced. However, our use case is again to get project details of all projects using the gitlab client and take necessary actions/perform code scan etc.

We are using the gitlab client in a fastapi server, when we run a scan on say 1000s of projects, somehow the projects.get increases the memory the fastapi server restarts. In our code, we dont instantiate the gitlab object everytime though.
