Fortunately the stocks app won't be running on a kid's school laptop.

Control Center is currently using a whopping 128MB of memory on my system that's been online for 60 days.

It was just an example of a simple app built by Apple themselves being a RAM hog. 375MB just for control centre on fresh open (15.7) but like I said I have seen it higher recently on multiple occasions. That's before we talk about a lot of their seemingly endless and inefficient background tasks. mds_stores anyone?

Hopefully the presence of a laptop like this will be beneficial to software quality. They should make their developers use it one day a week.

Honestly 128MB might be too much...
