We noticed while performance testing our app, that the JS heap size got really big. 200-300 MB, but then when we tried a Built version hosted on your end, the heap size dropped to 30-50 MB instead.
Is this reasonable?
(measuring in chrome dev tools under performance, Record snapshot. Also the realtime perfomance tab reports similar figures.
When you open your own hosted version, are you going to it directly, or from a link on an existing page? Sometimes the latter will retain the heap from where you clicked from.
Have you got gzip enabled on your own hosted version?
