Can you think any justification to VS 2022 to hold to over 8GB of memory while compiling a solution with less than 20 solutions in it?

To seem important?
I know some developers increase the size of their executables so customers don't have a reaction like "is that all"

Depends how big and/or complicated those projects are.
Did you expand the node in Task Manager to check which sub-process was using the memory?
What happens if you try building the solution with dotnet build from the command-line?

Nothing special about those project - most of them a few lines only...

It is much faster and do not hit event the 1GB boundary...

If it has windows forms or components in it - anything with a designer, it will be loading your built binaries into your process so that it can update the visual designer aspects.
And since they are (I am assuming here) .NET, that requires the CLI which tends to preallocate gobs of RAM for doing just about anything.
If I had to guess, I'd say that's at least in part what it is, based on what you wrote.

It is a .NET Core (Blazor) app...
And the code and the final binary is less then a 100 Mb combined...
And if I do the compilation from the command line it is much faster and eats almost 90% less memory...

Then it's almost certainly loading those binaries, like I said. Assuming Blazor has designers.
The command line isn't going to load the designers, so no need to load the binaries it just compiled into the process address space.

If the command line does not loads the designers (I didn't saw any designers for Blazor until now) they not needed for the compilation...
Also - 8Gb of designers?!?!

Yes. I explained all that in the first post. I'm not looking to do so again.
Edit: Sorry when I wrote that I was tired. I'll explain this better.
Visual Studio has designers. Designers work by accessing the code you JUST compiled.
In order to do so, that code must be loaded into memory after it is compiled.
Furthermore, .NET is very aggressive in terms of memory allocation, often allocating gigs ahead of time, so when you load these binaries you are tickling .NET's memory allocator again, and it's preallocating.

20 solutions, or 20 projects?
I understand that solutions can include solutions of their own, but I've never had to do that. And since each solution, by itself, can contain any number of projects...I'm not entirely surprised. I have a solution with ~20 projects (not solutions), and that can take up ~2GB of RAM...but, that's with R#, which is demonstrably still a pig.

It's like driving a car with 4 extra seats and a top speed of >85mph to the shops across the street.
And then, when you take it in for a simple repair, no-one has the replacement part in stock.

How many simultaneous compiles are you set for? I think the default is one per core.

8 in theory, but because of the dependencies it is down to 5... But no difference there between VS and the command line...

with "the city" being WinForms, WPF, ASP ? and, the ghosts of metro/modern silverlight, etc. ? in the time of naked baby EcmaScript/JavaScript with no jQuery, or Frameworks ?
the city: the center of a crumbling empire
long past the centuries it ruled the world,
but, still a beehive of commerce and trade
the city: new layers, over layers of ruins
over forgotten foundations; flimsy bridges,
broken shrines, mobs of homeless wanderers
now, destiny decides to build a new future,
to abandon the old city, give flesh to the
new vision, that will resurrect the empire
the need for complex faciliites in the old
city, for roots to keep commerce and trade
flowing: the new vision hit history's wall
bedrock had to be breached: hard, as usual;
grandiose idealism devoured time, as usual it takes a fossil with an antiquated skill set to write this ?

p.s. i am looking around like the proverbial "one-eyed cat looking in a seafood store," for a new

Did not work out as I wanted.
I wanted to merge my library with GLFW library but didn't work out as I thought. Had some issues with porting GLFW source into the project. Not a big deal, but was looking to have one static library. But GLFW already had one so I just have to make 2 references. Just an experiment.
