> Just loading up it takes 5GB of RAM

Not taking it up is not utilizing the hardware properly.

Taking it up for no visible performance gain is wasting, not utilizing.

Oh, believe me, it is very visible. You can test this easily on a desktop PC. Start it & browse websites when 10+ GB of RAM are inserted and when 2 or 4 are intserted.

This is only true if:

1. There aren't other processes that need to share the system.

2. There are no spikes in memory usage.

Neither are true. The less memory each component uses the more you can run at once and it will likely be faster too.
