I tend to get "helpers" that pile up that seem to consume the most.

I developed an application with Electron (+ Vue + Node) for an internal tool used by non-technical staff at my work and I don't have nearly the consumption as some other applications, but there is a lot less occurring on the renderer process than it appears with other applications.

I've added VSCode (with a large project), my application's usage (censored because it's proprietary, but it's a document-based application) and the worst memory offenders on my system (16GB 2015 MBP):

I've heard of other similar strategies-- but the best one seems to be to offload as much of the work to the main process or talk to a binary wrapped up in the application and do as little lifting with the renderer (the Chromium portion) as possible. My results have been alright so far.
