Yes, it's larger than a C or Go process. Does it usually matter? No. The whole Netflix is based on the JVM and Java. They are enormously big, they have high CPU and I/O requirements in many cases, and yet, they manage well on Java. I'm not a big fan of Java as language (to say the least), but the JVM as a runtime is very-very sophisticated.
