Tauri applications generally consume memory in smaller quantities since it is powered by the native webview and lightweight Rust backend.

If we ignored the rust/nodejs part, Tauri seems to consume more memory from my experience. The app is lightweight, but the webview is not.

Lots of articles giving the false impression that Tauri has much lighter memory consumption because of native webview vs chromium. I don't have enough experience with any of these but looks like the native backend is where the difference comes from, and a lot of apps are not leverage enough of it to be benefited.
