The memory needed to efficiently compile an application isn’t the same as the memory needed to run it.

- hulitu 5y ago> The memory needed to efficiently compile an application isn’t the same as the memory needed to run it. This is becoming more and more false. See Firefox for example.
- simonh 5y agoYou need 8GB of memory to efficiently compile Firefox, but you can run it in a lot less than that. Fundamentally when compiling the application you aren't running the application, you're running the compiler. They are different pieces of software with independent resource requirements. Even if they happen to be similar, that's really just a coincidence.
