I presume you mean megabytes? Well I've been working all morning since I made that comment; I have about 100 tabs open for editing in VS now (I don't clean up open tabs often >_<), and it's sitting at 120mb. For reference, that's considerably less than the chrome process that hosts gmail (200mb!). About the same as the steam client which I haven't even opened since I turned on my PC, and less than double that of dropbox (70mb!). I just booted eclipse, doing absolutely nothing, no projects open on the start screen. over 410mb... I don't know why modern software uses so much memory. But it seems VisualStudio at ~100mb is pretty bloody good comparatively! Dunno why you're seeing 200mb? (still less than my gmail tab...) Perhaps you use Visual Assist or some other bulky plugins? I only have Visual-D installed.
