Memory problems when using alias channel strips (3.0.2)

I'm having memory issues when using alias channel strips. What is happening is I create one instance of the plugin, say Massive. Then make a bunch of other alias on different patches. When looking at the memory usage everytime I add and alais it increases the memory usage by an amount the same as the origional plugin. ie. add 3 alias and you have 3 times more memory usage. See attached photos.


Original plugin instance ~80mb memory usage

Adding 3 Alias channel strips. ~330mb memory usage

By comparison here is the usage by adding 3 brand new instance of the plugins. ~160mb memory usage

By comparison it is using less memory by having 4 seperate instances of the plugin compared to using 3 alias's of the origional. This doesn't make sense since the whole point of an alias is to save memory by only loading one instance of the plugin.


Anyone have any thoughts?
