Well I've been working all morning since I made that comment; I have
about 100 tabs open for editing in VS now (I don't clean up open tabs
often >_<), and it's sitting at 120mb.
For reference, that's considerably less than the chrome process that
hosts gmail (200mb!). About the same as the steam client which I haven't
even opened since I turned on my PC, and less than double that of
dropbox (70mb!).
I just booted eclipse, doing absolutely nothing, no projects open on the
start screen. over 410mb...
I don't know why modern software uses so much memory. But it seems
VisualStudio at ~100mb is pretty bloody good comparatively!
Dunno why you're seeing 200mb? (still less than my gmail tab...)
Perhaps you use Visual Assist or some other bulky plugins? I only have
Visual-D installed.
Opening Xcode takes 76 MB real memory (I guess that's physical memory?)
and 324 MB virtual memory.
After opening the DMD project, indexing, downloading some doc sets, it's
at 227 MB real memory and 420 virtual memory.
Yesterday I got a stack overflow in our Rails application and the Ruby
instance took 4 GB real memory.
