400MB? Not bad for a chat client that sends a few bytes of text.

Still 10 times more compared to Telegram) Not to mention transfer speed and bandwith usage.

This is on my Mac, whose apps aren't exactly known for memory efficiency.

Fantastical, a calendaring app, is sitting at 333MB.

1Password is taking up 168MB in the background.

Finder, which I don't even have a window open for, is eating 127MB.

I'm not saying 400MB is amazing or anything, but it's a significant drop from the gigs of memory wasted by previous versions.

Aren't your coworkers sharing 10 MB gifs all day long?

The reason I don't like twitter because of all the dumb reaction gifs.

Still can't blame the browser when it consumes a gigabyte of ram, when we ask it to show us a gigabyte of gifs
