I more ask, how much money and effort would you spend for a calculator program which saved that $0.16c worth of RAM[1] which you didn't even notice was being used until something else drew it to your attention? If someone built one, would you buy it? I can only suspect not, since there are a lot of calculator apps out there which you could have found and installed for free. You probably used more paper in your lifetime of printing and book reading and newspaper buying and phonebook and bank statement receiving than Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Euler, Gauss and Newton combined, is that a problem worth solving? [1] first price for memory I found on Crucial.com was 8GB for $67.99. Other prices are available.

It's using more than ripcord, the discord client, even when using voice chat. Compare that to the official app that makes you have to worry about ram prices and actually takes a good chunk of a modern common pcs memory.

  Discord is using 157MB of 24GB on my desktop right now. 0.6% On my laptop, 114MB of 8GB. 1.3%. I even used Windows Calculator to work out these percentages because the effort to make the "calculator" button on the keyboard load another calculator, and find another one to load, and learn to use it, to save 19MB of RAM for a few seconds is not worth it.
