I'm not on Mac but on Windows, but I'm not happy too on that platform with the huge memory use. I switched back to v7 a few weeks ago, so I cannot exactly tell the difference, but as far as I remember, v8 has double or triple memory demands, and v8 isn't yet feature complete, so it will probably increase even more. And this for an app that is not that feature rich. For me, it appears as just being a simple app with a few text forms. And this will use 200 MB RAM? I consider that bloat. The app is fast and responsive, but it's bloated. It's not a main app, it's just a small companion that runs in background and will help you to manage your passwords.
Look at the Windows 10 OneNote App. The App needs 50-80 MB RAM, and I have a huge complex filled notebook open. The OneNote desktop app is about the same. This is what I call a sane memory consumption for a modern state of the art app of this kind. I feel 1Password has less functions than OneNote, but it occupies double the resources.
Consider every small app is using the same programming frameworks. Bloat everywhere. Do we all need 16 gig memory just for office-like work in the future?
