My benchmark:

1) .net app, one text field, one button; private bytes 22mb, working set 27mb

2) native app, two text fields, three buttons; private bytes 1.2mb, working set 7.3mb

3) electron, about:blank, 1.2GiB

electron, about:blank, 90mb

Just tested

That's better than the GTK4 hello world I tried out last year.

Seconded, the only 1.2 GB electron app I’ve made had a ~500MB ML model’s weights embedded in it
