Using more memory to increase performance is a good thing. All software should be doing it, especially one that is meant to run server-side. Who cares if Bun takes a couple hundred MBs extra (which is worth like $0.20)? It is also like 5-20x faster than Node for basic tasks because of it.

Users of a software whose author decided to use tool that only cares about server side.

I wanted to make sure that was the case, instead of inefficiency.
