Monterey; Pages Memory Leak?

Since downloading Monterey I receive repeated messages "your system has run out of application memory". This is only occurred since downloading Monterey. When examining activity monitor pages seems to be the main culprit using up 18 GB and more! Is this evidence of a memory leak for Pages with Monterey os? Restart makes no difference.

"If you made changes to customize your mouse pointer and specifically the color choice—restore the defaults and compare your results."

@leroydouglas nailed it here for my scenario. I had modified the pointer color in accessibility settings. Once reset, the memory leak has stopped.


note: I was able to keep the existing larger sized cursor
