It's normal.
When scanning the memory, all the memory of all running processes has to be "touched" - which means the operating system has to load all memory pages that we not loaded before (because they were not needed, for example), so the value of "memory usage" increases (might be even much more than 2 times).
Sure, it stays even after the scan is completed - it's up to the operating system to decide that a particular page is not needed, and "forget it" (or swap out) again.
