15Mb when measured through about:performance 70Mb when measured through about:memory

I don't know why they are different.

17.35 MB for me in Firefox 76.0.1 on MacOS 10.15.4.

But it has been a couple hours since your comment and the other replies :)

M? Are you sure?

I get a 58kB HTML document, plus 2kB each CSS & JS, 3 * ~400B images, and a 7kB favicon.

Edit: Oh sorry, RAM. Leaving comment just to compare page size to RAM use for interest.

Wow.

There's now ~388 comments. Source is 529kb and content 114kb (simple cut and paste of page, no markup).

Those are some impressive ratios.
