500KB seems to be the bundle size, how much RAM does the client use?

500mb actually.

~500GB

I haven't measured it, but the client lib is extremely light. Definitely under 10kb compressed, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's much less.

250 megabytes for a simple email client.

500MB? On what platform?

Ack. I use <500mb

How much of those 55KB is the server?

It's using 1.6 MB for me at the moment.

blahi | karma 746 | avg karma 1.61 · | 2016-09-26 14:39:56+00:00

It's 800MB.

curiousgal | karma 6178 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2016-11-29 12:21:25+00:00

I'd say it's around 50Mb.

haberman | karma 20020 | avg karma 5.73 · | 2016-01-27 01:01:12+00:00

5MB. Including libuv, zlib, openssl, and pcre.

Basically enough to fit the download in RAM + a bit more.

In practice, you kinda need a GPU, even a small one. Otherwise prompt processing is really slow.

It is about 6GB on my linux system.

400MB? Not bad for a chat client that sends a few bytes of text.

takeda | karma 6128 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2014-09-17 18:35:51+00:00

Well, 1.1GB for the file, and 5.5GB for the installation.

That's still huge.

muthdra | karma 192 | avg karma 0.91 · | 2018-09-17 06:02:27+00:00

That excuses like 256MB, tops.

mikeyur | karma 1450 | avg karma 3.5 · | 2009-04-14 07:31:05+00:00

I think it uses about 5GB or so - that's my guestimate, I didn't pay attention when I installed last time.

300MB is what I see trying to run the MS Teams client. So I don't bother and use a browser instead.
