Would a dynamically linked, system-wide Electron installation help with the extensive resource usage of Electron apps? It would decrease the installation size but what about the runtime performance?
not sure where the red herring came from. VS Code uses less system resources than a blank excel document for me. Opening up another tab in a browser can spawn another browser process, which is done for isolation.
Same example, 142MB is the footprint for VS Code. VLC is bigger.
Where is this "extensive resource usage" that people seem to be concerned about even apply to Electron? Metrics?
A similar paradigm would be to create a Chrome Packaged App, but you're going to still have the same resource utilization as another browser tab.
