8GB of RAM, sure, but a full quarter still have only 4GB. You willing to bet that you could run 5 Electron instances on that machine without any noticeable slowdowns, especially when doing something like running a sixth browser for web browsing?Īccording to Mozilla's hardware report as of the time of this comment, the median Firefox user's machine has two physical cores. Looking on eBay, I see that most of the available x230's have Intel Core i7-3520M processors (22nm, 2c/4t, 2.9 GHz base clock, 5 MB 元), and my machine has 4 GB of RAM. My wife's laptop is an almost decade-old Thinkpad x230 tablet. If you're running 6 browser engine instances without noticing, it's almost certainly way better. As a programmer, your computer is statistically significantly better than the average user's. Repeat after me: your computer is not the same as everyone else's computer. > For instance, I am currently running at least 6 browser engine instances as I type this, probably more than that, and I just am not experiencing a meaningful performance hit As a matter of fact, if you're a programmer, your hardware is probably significantly better than the average computer user. Don't assume that everyone else is in the same situation as you. I can think of a dozen situations where 140 MB is a problem. Or, if you have a large, but slow, HDD in an older computer (or worse - a small and slow SSD in a netbook), then reading that 140 MB installer (or the potentially-even-larger installed program) is going to be far worse than a 5 MB one. Or if you're building a system recovery image. If you're on a 32 GB SSD (like I was just a few years ago), 140 MB for a highly specialized tool is a huge amount.

If you have a 16k connection from Ethiopia, then 140 MB takes almost 20 hours to download (5 MB is 43 minutes, 630 KB is 5 and a half minutes). If you live in Africa and have a connection like Ben Kuhn, 2.6 mbps, then downloading that 140 MB installer will take over 7 minutes, while a 5 MB installer will take 15 seconds, and Windirstat's 630 KB will take about 2 seconds. If I'm on the go, or my home internet is down (like it is now), that 140 MB is a seventh of my internet for the entire month.
Honestly, is 140 MB really a problem anymore?
