element is much lighter weight Here, the webapps are measured via the very scientific method of Firefox about:processes, doesn’t even account Firefox itself which is like 760 megs (decimal MB or MiB? I am not sure) if I were to believe it. On amd64, loonix with glibc and all that crap (assuming I am reading “shared” correctly in htop which I assume to be libraries like glibc and glib): Discord: starts at 800 megs, garbage collects down to 704 to 710-ish (overburned CD size?); turning on/off equicord doesn’t affect it much Element: 367 mystery units after clicking around for a while, 341 unfocused random forum with a bunch of emotes and table decorations (for comparison sake): 69 meters (NICE) qwebirc (1 server): 61 megs Nheko: 362 MiB, 201MiB shared (probably with Firefox, can’t close cuz I am typing here rn) Dino: 334MiB, 116 shared (probably with Firefox) Mumble (random server with a long text greeting and nobody in voice): 169MiB, 130MiB shared. Weechat (6 servers): 65392 bytes, out of which 33396 shared (with system daemons I am guessing). Toxic: 44648 bytes, out of which 0 are shared. Plus ~90000 for Alacritty (65160 shared when multiple). lmao
