element is much lighter weight

Here, the webapps are measured via the very scientific method of Firefox about:processes, doesn't even account Firefox itself which is like 760 megs (decimal MB or MiB? I am not sure) if I were to believe it.

On amd64, loonix with glibc and all that crap, zero memory pressure (assuming I am reading "shared" correctly in htop which I assume to be libraries like glibc and glib):

• Discord: starts at 800 megs, garbage collects down to 704 to 710-ish (overburned CD size?); turning on/off equicord doesn't affect it much
• Element: 367 mystery units after clicking around for a while, 341 unfocused
• Nheko: 362 MiB, 201MiB shared (probably with Firefox, can't close cuz I am typing here rn)
• Dino: 334MiB, 116 shared (probably with Firefox)
• Mumble (random server with a long text greeting and nobody in voice): 169MiB, 130MiB shared.
• random forum with a bunch of emotes and table decorations (for comparison sake): 69 meters (NICE)
• qwebirc (1 server): 61 megs
• Weechat (6 servers): 65392 bytes, out of which 33396 shared (with system daemons I am guessing).
• Toxic: 44648 bytes, out of which 0 are shared. Plus ~90000 for Alacritty (65160 shared when multiple).

lmao
