Importing `Microsoft.Graph.Identity.Governance` v2.23.0 gobbles up 400-500 MB of RAM
Describe the bug
Simply importing Microsoft.Graph.Identity.Governance v2.23.0 gobbles up more than 500MB of RAM / memory!
This is especially a problem when running in memory restricted environments like Azure Automation Account.
Screenshots going from pwsh -noprofile with PowerShell v7.4.5 x64 on Windows 11 23H2.
Clean start, idles at around 30 MB.
Import Microsoft.Graph.Authentication, does not take up much. Great.
Importing Microsoft.Graph.Identity.Governance makes pwsh.exe idle at almost 500 MB. Ouch. I've seen this idle around 500-600 MB at other times.

Expected behavior
Don't take hundreds of MB of RAM.
How to reproduce

Known Workarounds
In resource limited environments, like Azure Automation Account, use Microsoft.Graph.Authentication only with cmdlet Invoke-MgGraphRequest to do API requests, instead of using other resource heavy Microsoft.Graph modules.
In my example, replace:
Microsoft.Graph.Identity.Governance\Get-MgIdentityGovernancePrivilegedAccessGroupAssignmentScheduleInstance -All -Filter (
'groupId eq ''{0}'' and endDateTime ne null' -f $PimGroup.'id'
)
with
(
Microsoft.Graph.Authentication\Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method 'Get' -Uri (
[uri]::EscapeUriString(
'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/identityGovernance/privilegedAccess/group/assignmentScheduleInstances?' +
('$filter=groupId eq ''{0}'' and endDateTime ne null' -f $PimGroup.'id')
)
)
).'value'
You'll have to handle paging yourself with this approach.
