    Here’s a little script I’ve put in my $PATH, called memsum:

    #!/usr/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/ps -eo rss,command --sort -rss | egrep $1 | awk '{ hr=$1/1024 ; sum +=hr} END {print sum}'
    

    Now you can go: memsum firefox or memsum whatever and see that, actually, apps use a ridiculous amount of memory these days.

    I can get Firefox up to 8GB by using things like Office 365.
