SQL Server Memory consumption (7GB)

My development machine started to run at snails speed with just a single instance of Visual Studio and SQL Server 2014 running. I have 8 Cores and 16GiB memory. 

The memory consumption was around 15.3GiB and it was hovering around the same figure continuously.

After hours of research I noticed that I had Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) service stopped and disabled.

After restarting DTC service and restarting SQL Server, the memory consumption simply dropped to 7 GiB in total. 

Always check DTC Service if memory consumption with SQL Server is way over the top.
