It is not hard to tell that an app that works with text files (such
as Lazarus) will consume 4 times more memory per file loaded.
But, how much memory does, say, Lazarus --itself-- consume
specifically for string storage when run for the first time?
From Matias' original answer: "For example the lazarus IDE typically
holds 50 to 200mb sources in memory."
I.e., at least 4 times 50 to 200mb.
This is my thick-day. So, permit me to ask this:
Are you really saying that strings occupy 50 MB Lazarus's memory footprint?
I just checked (using Process Explorer, under Windows) and this is what
I see:
Working set: 2,216 K
Peak Working set: 26,988 K
I can't see where that 50 MB fits into that.
