From my experience this is a normal amount of ram usage.  I've got reports that go higher than that.  Power BI uses a lot of memory in order to calculate all of the visuals.

Thanks for the reply.
So 4gb of ram is not enough? Because at some point my report are freezing and i must kill the process and restart the browser. Did you expérience that?
How much ram do you have? 8gb?

I've found that i've had lots of problems with machines with only 4gb of ram.  I've been advising my staff to upgrade to at least 8.

Clear.i'll do the same.
64 bit / 8gb / ie edge

Thanks
