This information is pulled into a backend-local cache, but it should
only be cached while it's needed and then purged out to allow for new
data coming in. It would be great if we could understand what the issue
is that you're seeing.

Each backend shouldn't try to hold all the data, if there is pressure
for that memory.

There's a bit of other information shared, but disk buffers are
certainly the bulk of it.
