I'm not sure how impressed I should feel about saving 45 MiB these days.

45MiB is for the default adblock setup, and it scales with the more block lists you have enabled.

I'll happily take performance improvements cause most products lack any efficiency care nowadays.

[infogulch]

Adblock data is accessed on every request; so this is 45 MiB of cpu cache.

[cozzyd]

I mean unless it's a linear search through the whole list, I doubt you save that much cache.

That’s the wrong way to look at it. Improving the performance of a complex piece of software is not something you do in one fell swoop, or even in a dozen smaller steps. It’s a job of compounding many tiny single–digit percentages over years, and of carefully avoiding performance regressions.

Be as impressed as you want but I think it is a very good sign that developers are taking care of it, and as this is a free to use product we can always be happy if someone boosts performance no matter how much

Very, if only because you'd have said I'm not sure how impressed I should be about saving 4.5 MB these days not all that long ago. Remember when emacs was backronymised to 'eight megabytes and constantly swapping'? That was also not all that long ago. Now 8 megabytes is what some pissant JS library takes as part of some miserable npm package used to bellyflop an ad into your browser window.

Are you referring to current RAM prices or bloat of numerous Electron apps?

A $130 Motorola smartphone has 8GB of RAM. This will save 0.5% RAM. It's fairly negligible on modern systems.

[allarm]

Very.
