Ok, I ran top to see what the memory actually is. My computer is a 16 GB machine. TiddlyWiki on Node uses 150 MB. TiddlyServer used 100 MB per wiki (approximately), but less than 30 MB when no wikis were loaded (sorry, top only listed the first page of results). Now, given Node's memory management, I would guess that a more constrained environment would use less, so I'm curious what results other people get.
In my mind, this is huge, so I'm not surprised people need a way around it, but I'm not sure what the culprit is. I'll do some digging. All I know is it's it's big on Node TiddlyWiki and on TiddlyServer both, so it's probably somewhere in TiddlyWiki.
