I'm not running 10 Electron apps that are trivial. They tend to be actual functional applications.

And we're talking about memory usage here. Nothing is stuttering from not enough memory if they're only using 12.5%.

12.5% is just the ram. We’re not even talking about excessive cpu cycles for browser animations yet. That’ll get you stuttering.

Right, the subject is the RAM. Not CPU.

But who has 10 applications all showing animations at the same time? Or constantly animating at all? If a button animates when you click it, or a message animates when it pops up, it's not exactly slowing down my system.

		The subject is the resources a Chromium based app uses. RAM is just the example that was used. I don’t think theres a path here where we keep sharing valuable insight on this topic. Clearly you don’t mind Electron apps. Others do however and dislike this trend of using more and more resources because we can. This non-concern for resource usage and good software design is why energy costs are sky rocketing today.
