High memory usage #31

Closed sammcj closed 8 years ago

sammcj commented 8 years ago

For such a simple / small application Cumulus' memory usage is very high.

A fresh install and launch easily uses 130MB which is considerably more than many more complex applications (iStats, LittleSnitch, Reeder, Dropbox, iTerm and even mail!).

Yup, this is because it's not entirely a native application. (Cross platform support for Cumulus is underway!)

We're using Electron, built by GitHub, which has an embedded WebKit we use to render our application.
