Does this lead to a significantly smaller memory footprint than otherwise running .js in electron or a full browser?

I see you've become a big fan of bazel :)

It's the difference between a new tab vs a new browser instance - every electron app is a new browser instance with fixed overhead of 100mb or so. A new browser tab is closer to 10mb overhead.
