Could be all kind of problems, and by using the memory and performance tools in the developer tools you can get detailed insight into what is going on. We lately did a lot of internal checks and will publish information how we made things faster as we go along. One thing we found problematic is endless scrolls with interactionObserver leaking memory. Without knowing what the app is and how having Devtools open affects the RAM usage vs. no Devtools there is not much I can say.

Incidentally, we're doing detailed research right now on the memory consumption and performance of the developer tools themselves, and should be able to improve things and publish information about that soon.
