The whole electron app uses less RAM than the page opened as a PWA? That’s surprising to me, how come? I somehow thought Safari was more memory efficient than C

- tiltowait 2y agoI was surprised, too, so I just checked. Sure enough, https://claude.ai https://claude.ai takes 663MB. I wonder if there’s an architectural difference that allows the Electron app to be more lean? (Note I didn’t download the new app, just installed the PWA, so I didn’t verify those numbers.)
- orf 2y agoThe browser takes 663MB, or specifically the tab?
- tiltowait 2y agoThe Claude tab, itself. From Activity Monitor: 640.6 MB https://claude.ai https://claude.ai 51.5 MB Claude 28.8 MB Claude Web Content 20.9 MB Open and Save Panel Service (Claude) 17.5 MB Claude Graphics and Media 15.5 MB Claude Networking 5.6 MB com.apple.Safari.SandboxBroker (Claude) 5.1 MB QuickLookUIService (Open and Save Panel Service (Claude)) --- If I open Claude in Safari, Safari itself is 204MB, and the Claude tab is 640MB.
- ec109685 2y agoThose numbers don’t add up to 640mb. If you have 10 Claude tabs open, you’re not using 6gigs of resident memory.
- yawnxyz 2y agothat's wild that essentially a website that's a few textboxes should take 600MBs+
- brap 2y agoInsane, what could possibly take so much space?
