High memory usage with v8; what could be wrong?

Hi @dustyoldman, back with more. 👋

The short answer is: memory usage is complex and variable, but there are some general parameters that it might be helpful to know about. Long story short, we don't see the memory usage you've screen-grabbed here as being too out of the ordinary. (1ofMany's, on the other hand, is clearly an issue that needs looking-into).

To explain a bit more:

1. 1Password's memory usage depends (among other factors) on how many accounts and items you have in the app.
2. As a general point of reference, 1Password usually runs at about as much memory as a typical browser tab.
3. From an engineering perspective, whenever we were faced with a choice between speed or reduced memory, we always chose speed. The responsiveness of the app (which we've heard a lot of positive feedback about) suggests that we are likely striking that balance in a way that works for many people.

We of course recognize that there may be divergences of opinion on how much memory usage is acceptable, but given that 1Password allows instantaneous filling of passwords into native apps and the browser at any time, this seems like a reasonable path to take.
