Dear developers, can you make TV use less memory, please?
I have a low memory (by todays standards) laptop.
I need to open lots of other stuff and besides the huge memory hungry todays browsers, TV is the second top consumer.
Can you make TV use less memory, please?

and a more friendly ps_mem.py output:
[asus@e403na ~]$ sudo ps_mem.py
Private + Shared = RAM used Program
[lots of few MB processes stripped]
26.4 MiB + 34.4 MiB = 60.8 MiB systemd-journald
33.4 MiB + 34.8 MiB = 68.2 MiB Thunar
35.1 MiB + 35.2 MiB = 70.3 MiB teamviewerd
49.5 MiB + 49.6 MiB = 99.1 MiB opensnitchd
73.2 MiB + 80.7 MiB = 153.9 MiB dnf
65.2 MiB + 94.0 MiB = 159.2 MiB Xorg
575.7 MiB + 581.5 MiB = 1.1 GiB TeamViewer
666.5 MiB + 836.5 MiB = 1.5 GiB firefox-bin (10)
