TBF I guess, it's the UI toolkits. I see this on Linux too - a "very small" app that does basically nothing except monitor a file for changes, takes many MB of RAM if it has a UI.

Since my RAM is almost never over half used, why not. Just make sure the OS swaps it out if something else needs a lot of RAM.
