Pure V8 - yes, close to 8 Mb - that is still larger than whole Sciter that beside of script VM contains HTML/CSS/Graphics, etc.
40 Mb came from Node.JS distribution (V8 + native runtime = node.exe).
Sciter is more comparable to NodeJS as it includes good chunk of NodeJS alike runtime too.
- ncann 5y agoWhile I appreciate the conscious size-saving effort, I need to ask: is 30 MB difference that big of a deal for desktop applications nowadays? A random Electron app that I download will easily take up hundreds of MBs disk space.
- CamperBob2 5y agoThat's the wrong question, IMO. The right question is, "Does it need to be that big?" The answer is "No." Things that are too big are usually composed of smaller things that are also too big.
- 8note 5y agoThe proper question is: what's the cost of it being that big? Is it acceptable? Is it worth making it smaller?
- WastingMyTime89 5y agoI personally don’t think it’s acceptable and the disregard for files sizes generally extends to disregard for RAM usage which is even more unacceptable. Sadly I don’t really have a choice regarding using most of these apps.
