This is a great point. I think last I measured a basic electron browser/webview is about ~20-36mb which is not far from an about:blank chrome tab. The 300mb+ memory usage you see is mostly the javascript from the apps themselves. Either way, I'm glad more people are in the space!

According to Tauri's documentation (https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri) minimal app: Tauri Electron Memory Consumption Linux 180 MB 462 MB Note Tauri is full fledged Client/Server with WebView (client) running in separate process with RPC between UI process and Rust code (Server). For the comparison: Standalone Sciter (scapp.exe, https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/bin https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/bin) takes ~8 MB of RAM (with minimal Cairo and GDI backends). That's 20 times less than even Tauri. WebView based solutions are not suitable for applets - small portable desktop applications.
