You would be surprised but that is exactly what you do when you access VMs on clouds. To be short: if you can make your app less greedy - do it. In some cultures we have a concept of "engineering conscience" (ru: "инженерная

TIScript and QuickJS have the same performance. Some operations can be slightly different but on average - the same.

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 N
