I've honestly never given terminal memory usage a second thought. Here is the memory usage of konsole version 26.04.1 on CachyOS. Private + Shared = RAM used Program 53.3 MiB + 25.1 MiB = 78.5 MiB konsole Above is with two tabs open. Below is 18 tabs open. In the settings the memory limit is set to 192 MB (Default) Private + Shared = RAM used Program 61.9 MiB + 33.1 MiB = 95.0 MiB konsole Using ps_mem.py [1] - I suggest using this instead of ps to avoid confusion around shared memory.
