with `fundrawtransaction`'s `changeAddress` option.
Unused mempool memory used by coincache
----------------------------------------
- Before 0.14, memory reserved for mempool (using the `-maxmempool` option)
went unused during initial block download, or IBD. In 0.14, the UTXO DB cache
(controlled with the `-dbcache` option) borrows memory from the mempool
when there is extra memory available. This may result in an increase in
memory usage during IBD for those previously relying on only the `-dbcache`
option to limit memory during that time.
