I'm still struggling to understand why mariadbd uses so much memory for just 1 DB and 1 application, which in this case is roundcube.
I tried changing this value to no avail.. If anyone wants to share some thoughts I would appreciate:
[mariadb]
innodb_buffer_pool_size=128M
Leave a comment if you know shit. Thanks
EDIT: some details
OVH VPS, 1 core, 2GB, 20 GB SSD. mariadb-server 1:10.11.4-1~deb12u1. roundcube DB size 2.41MB, 17 tables. RAM taken at process restart 240MB.

Migrated my roundcube's DB to pgsql. Much better!
