Personally I don't mind RAM usage that much. I'm more concerned about excessive CPU usage resulting in unnecessary battery drain on my laptop or annoying fan-spinning.

Atom for me consistently sits at 0-0.1% (mostly 0) CPU usage when idling. You may want to investigate some of the extensions you're using if the numbers are different for you.

Yeah, this was more a generic comment not specifically aimed at Atom. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It's probably not idle CPU usage that the parent is complaining about.
