The newer versions (19.0+) don't need more than 1 GB RAM for many scenarios


Any reason for it to use as much RAM as full operating systems, with games, programs, databases, ...? 1 GB is still ridiculous, no?


Not really, it's still way less than a web browser or an electron app, and it can server a heck lot of customers with 1GB of RAM.

JVM programs have high initial memory usage, but they scale up very well.


I understand that it's the way it is, and it could be worse, but man is 1 GB absolutely crazy usage.
