Applications these days have no respect for a computer's limited resources:
- Chat apps consume 0.5GB RAM (e.g. Messenger)
- IDEs take 5GB of space and consume 4+ GB of RAM (e.g. Rider)
- A VS Code for a tiny F# project eats 1 GB of RAM
And then there's #Emacs which consumes 200MB after 1 month...
I guess most people don't really care about this, as long as they have the resources needed, but it always bothers me.
@bbatsov unless you open file with really long lines and try to scroll 
@circfruit
that was fixed years ago
@hajovonta @bbatsov you’re right. I had recently similar problem but it was a package problem, rather than emacs one.
@bbatsov don't forget web browsers that take hundreds of megs just to render a simple text based webpage...
@frangarc Yeah, browsers are probably the biggest offender. With Electron apps being the close second. :D
@bbatsov IRC consumed a few megabytes. But then there were no emojis, animgifs, pictures.
