Does it matter? I think heaviness should be defined relatively to the computer resources. Currently VSCode memory usage is 75MB on my computer. It could be 10 times less, it wouldn't make any difference.

Not really I guess, I mean who cares about the user's computing resources? Certainly not developers.

Which OS are you using for that kind of memory usage? I've tried it, and seen double that out-of-the-box.
