Answer 1

I have recently found that minifing large minified files via ScriptBundle can cause excessive memory usage.

In my case changing

From:bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Bundles/Scripts/").Include(....

To:bundles.Add(new Bundle("~/Bundles/Scripts/").Include(....

Reduced my memory usage by around 300mb.

Long term this obviously isn't a great solution, and you should probably move to another solution ("Gulp" or "Bower"), but this may be enough to get through the next release or two.
