For me, vaultwarden's RSS is ~45 MB, with ~13MB of that being shared. I have it running as a secondary thing on a 512 MB machine and don't notice it's there. Is there a reason you presume it's a memory hog?

For me, RSS 35 MB, SHR 23 MB. The vaultwarden executable is 38 MB (typical Rust executable that links Rust code statically, and only dynamically links libssl.so and libc.so dynamically).

So probably its RSS usage is just mostly its own executable code?

I'm surprised, actually. I expected at least an order of magnitude more. In my humble opinion, this is still a lot of memory -- probably an order of magnitude (or even two) more than what is realistically required for the task. But this is just my own philosophy, and I do realize that the days of careful memory utilization are long gone.

Thanks for sharing.
