- ryandrake 9y agoDevelopers tend to over time expand their programs to fill available memory and take up available CPU, too. My currently open text editor's memory footprint is apparently 36.6MB, and it is displaying a single file composed of ~1000 characters.

And Emacs isn't even considered a hog anymore compared to the real hogs like Atom. Remember when Emacs meant Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping?
