The test project I used as an example is a new (and small project) we started recently, and already Lazarus uses such a lot of memory. Loading some of our much larger projects, the memory usage jumps considerably. Irrespective of what device or hardware you have, it doesn't explain away why Lazarus is such a memory hog compared to the same project loaded in MSEide. In both IDE's I used fpGUI based projects, so that cuts out a lot of the IDE's built in GUI designer, Object Inspector etc... So I feel my comparison is not unreasonable - I used the same features in both IDE's. If Lazarus doesn't watch out, it will soon become yet another bloated software product. Maybe it's time some "new features" get put on hold, and some optimizations are implemented instead. This is a normal process of any software development team. Maybe just the thing required for that looming 1.0 release. Just a thought. If MSEide can be light on memory, very fast and still have plenty of features, it should be possible with Lazarus too.
