I just launched Discord, the heaviest Electron app I have installed, and it idles at 135 MB of memory. I'm not seeing anything close to 800 MB being used.

Make sure to add all of the helper processes together. Slack plus all of its helpers is currently using 1.2GB of RAM on my MBP. Each Slack group I'm a part of adds 300-500MB to that total.

The 135 MB was the total of all sub-processes.
