Agreed, 1.5GB really is a small amount of ram. I never understand comments when somebody says look at what INSERT PROGRAM NAME HERE uses for Ram or CPU usage, you should want programs to use all the resources they can access, thats the whole point of buying more powerful CPU's or buying more than 4GB of Ram, you want programs to use those resources. If you didnt want that, you would have 2GB of Ram and a 20 year old cheap CPU in your system still. A program using the resources available is a well designed program. I dont expect you complain when a game uses 100% of your GPU, why would any other components be any different?
So If I didn't want my program to use 15% of my ram, I would just downgrade to 2GB of ram so that it can use 75% of my ram, makes perfect sense. Upgrading your hardware isn't an excuse for a program to be unoptimized, especially when it was far better before. Like yeah I could get more ram but that doesn't make the program better, it would still just be using more ram than I want it to. Launchbox isn't a game, it's a program I use to launch games, so I would much prefer if it was using less resources and more optimized so that I could get the best performance out of the actual game I launched using it. And yes I would question a game that's using 100% of my GPU lmao, either I have the graphic settings way too high or the game is just unoptimized.

Launchbox always used to idle around 500MB/s which was fine, but after recent updates it's literally always over a gig, mainly at like 1,500MB/s. BigBox does not have this problem at all and it idles at 300MB/s but I like the convenience of LaunchBox not being a fullscreen application. I don't understand why the program seems so much more unoptimized than it used to be, but it's highly disappointing as I've been using the program for such a long time.

Launchbox using way too much ram.

This was a very informative response, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to this post.
I understand why you think you're right. But I have no interest in responding to you further, plus this argument has nothing to do with the original post topic.
