Having rebooted into a fresh Plasma Wayland session, running nvtop in one
Konsole window, I opened another Konsole window and tried moving and resizing
it. 

The new Konsole window opened tiled to the right half of the screen (I rebooted
from a Konsole tiled exactly there). Moving it around the screen didn't affect
kwin_wayland VRAM usage. Resizing it, though, made kwin_wayland quickly reach
10% of VRAM usage (2.4GB on RTX 4090), and stay pegged at that level regardless
of any further window shape or position changes. 

I thought, oh well, resizing Konsole does make kwin_wayland hog VRAM, as
reported by Kelvie Wong above, and was about to reboot. I invoked the keyboard
shortcut to tile that Konsole window back to the right half of the screen where
it opened, and that made kwin_wayland release all that VRAM back to under 1%
level, to my great surprise. 

It appears, that restoring Konsole window size and position back to their
initial states makes kwin_wayland release that 10% VRAM it allocated during
moving around and resizing that window.

Let me know what other information I could collect to narrow down the root
cause of the issue.
