I assumed it would be a little more RAM, not a tenfold increase.

In our tests, Windows Latest observed that Copilot uses up to 500MB of RAM in the background, and it also reaches up to 1GB of RAM when you begin to interact with it. On the other hand, native Copilot used to have less than 100MB of RAM usage.
