Emacs is about the only cross-platform environment I can think of that makes Electron look efficient ;)

- yellowapple 7y agoIt's the perfect operating system. A shame it's missing a good text editor. More seriously, though: the heaviest of my Emacs processes right now is at around 28k of resident memory, while Rambox (Electron wrapper around Gmail and GCal, among potentially other things) is at 395MB + 195MB (presumably for the Gmail and GCal tabs) + some other more negligible subprocesses, and Slack is at 265MB. Total virtual/mapped memory is much higher for all of those (Emacs is still the lowest, at 541MB for the biggest process, while Rambox's are around 1GB each and Slack's is at a "mere" 20.8GB). Granted, my Emacs processes are doing a bit less than any of the Electron processes, but I still think you've got things the wrong way round :)
