RAM usage has increased threefold after switching to GTK4 in v2-->v3 #805

This is probably an issue with gtk4.

In version 2.2.3, safeeyes consumes 47 mb of memory right after running. In version 3.2.0, it is 157 mb.

This bercomes a problem in low resource systems such as Raspberry Pi zero with only 512mb of RAM, where safeeyes v3 is immediatelty killed by the kernel. However, safeeyes v2 runs fine there.

I understand that if we use gtk4, we probably have to pay this price of using more memory, but can we somehow still decrease the memory consumption?
