Yes, it does use a reasonable chunk of memory (I wouldn't run in with less than 3GB available) However, speed wise, its only slow in my experience, if you try to integrate via a shell script - if you run it as a service and make http calls it's been amazingly fast in my usage. I believe they include a "service" mode as part of the package now, but for a project a little while ago I forked & extended a project that provides a JSON/XML http service: https://github.com/Koalephant/StanfordCoreNLPHTTPServer https://github.com/Koalephant/StanfordCoreNLPHTTPServer
