Hello,

Would there be an easy way to measure each plugin's RAM consumption, maybe via the Developper's tools, other than measuring general Joplin RAM consumption enabling plugins one by one and restarting Joplin each time ?

The "problem" is not clear to me.  
On which hardware is Joplin running, with how much RAM, on which operating system?

### _Unused RAM is wasted RAM._

Post output from terminal, please.

```auto
inxi -F | grep Memory

```
